Exact solution of the one-dimensional ballistic aggregation

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

An exact expression for the mass distribution ρ(M,t)\rho(M,t) of the ballistic aggregation model in one dimension is derived in the long time regime. It is shown that it obeys scaling ρ(M,t)=t4/3F(M/t2/3)\rho(M,t)=t^{-4/3}F(M/t^{2/3}) with a scaling function F(z)z1/2F(z)\sim z^{-1/2} for z1z\ll 1 and F(z)exp(z3/12)F(z)\sim \exp(-z^3/12) for z1z\gg 1. Relevance of these results to Burgers turbulence is discussed.
