We study pattern-forming dissipative systems in growing domains. We characterize classes of boundary conditions that allow for defect-free growth and derive universal scaling laws for the wave number in the bulk of the domain. Scalings are based on a description of striped patterns in semibounded domains via strain-displacement relations. We compare predictions with direct simulations in the Swift-Hohenberg, the complex Ginzburg-Landau, the Cahn-Hilliard, and reaction-diffusion equations.

Scaling law for a buckled elastic filament in a shear flow.

We analyze the three-dimensional (3D) buckling of an elastic filament in a shear flow of a viscous fluid at low Reynolds number and high Péclet number. We apply the Euler-Bernoulli beam (elastica) theoretical model. We show the universal character of the full 3D spectral problem for a small perturbation of a thin filament from a straight position of arbitrary orientation.

The leaf vein network is a hierarchical vascular system that transports water and nutrients to the leaf cells. The thick primary veins form a branched network, while the secondary veins can develop closed loops forming a well-defined cellular structure. Through extensive analysis of a variety of distinct leaf species, we discover that the apparently disordered cellular structures of the secondary vein networks exhibit a universal hyperuniform organization and possess a hidden order on large scales.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers explore a new state of matter called a hyperuniform fluid, characterized by uniform density at large scales, and extend this concept to a spherical surface.
- The behavior of this hyperuniform fluid on a sphere mirrors that in two-dimensional space, and its transitions fall within a specific universality class related to directed percolation.
- The study also examines the role of inertia in these fluids, revealing that an additional length scale influences their hyperuniform properties, presenting a potential method to create such fluids without boundary influence.
Generation of Near-Equipartition Magnetic Fields in Turbulent Collisionless Plasmas.
Phys Rev Lett
August 2023
Department of Astronomy and Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, USA.
The mechanisms that generate "seed" magnetic fields in our Universe and that amplify them throughout cosmic time remain poorly understood. By means of fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of turbulent, initially unmagnetized plasmas, we study the genesis of magnetic fields via the Weibel instability and follow their dynamo growth up to near-equipartition levels. In the kinematic stage of the dynamo, we find that the rms magnetic field strength grows exponentially with rate γ_{B}≃0.

In turbulent flows, kinetic energy is transferred from the largest scales to progressively smaller scales, until it is ultimately converted into heat. The Navier-Stokes equations are almost universally used to study this process. Here, by comparing with molecular-gas-dynamics simulations, we show that the Navier-Stokes equations do not describe turbulent gas flows in the dissipation range because they neglect thermal fluctuations.
