自引力系统的熵产生与Vlasov方程

Entropy production and Vlasov equation for self-gravitating systems

Calvin Alexandre Fracassi Farias, Renato Pakter, Yan Levin

摘要:

一个自引力系统通过一个剧烈的弛豫过程演化到一个非平衡稳态。在热力学极限下,多体系统的动力学应服从弗拉索夫方程。然而,最近有人对Vlasov方程在剧烈弛豫过程中的有效性提出了质疑。在本文中,我们将探讨在弛豫过程中的熵产生N体分子动力学模拟。我们将证明熵产生时间随着$N^α$而增长,在极限$N \rightarrow \infty$中,熵将保持恒定,与弗拉索夫方程一致。此外,我们将表明,平均场动力学的基础上构建的Vlasov方程是在良好的协议与完整的分子动力学模拟,证明了Vlasov方程的适用性在激烈的弛豫阶段的演变。

英文摘要:

The evolution of a self-gravitating system to a non-equilibrium steady state occurs through a process of violent relaxation. In the thermodynamic limit the dynamics of a many body system should be governed by the Vlasov equation. Recently, however, a question was raised regarding the validity of Vlasov equation during the process of violent relaxation. In this paper we will explore the entropy production during the relaxation process using N-body molecular dynamics simulations. We will show that the entropy production time grows as $N^α$, with $α> 0$ and in the limit $N \rightarrow \infty$, entropy will remain constant, consistent with the Vlasov equation. Furthermore, we will show that the mean field dynamics constructed on the basis of the Vlasov equation is in excellent agreement with the full molecular dynamics simulations, justifying the applicability of Vlasov equation during the violent relaxation phase of evolution.
