Standard field theoretic renormalization group is applied to the model of landscape erosion introduced by R. Pastor-Satorras and D. H. Rothman [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80: 4349 (1998); J. Stat. Phys. 93: 477 (1998)] yielding unexpected results:…
The model of landscape erosion, introduced in [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 80}: 4349 (1998); {\it J. Stat. Phys.} {\bf 93}: 477 (1998)] and modified in [{\it Theor. Math. Phys.} - in press; arXiv:1602.00432], is advected by anisotropic…
We formulate a stochastic equation to model the erosion of a surface with fixed inclination. Because the inclination imposes a preferred direction for material transport, the problem is intrinsically anisotropic. At zeroth order, the…
We present a stochastic equation to model the erosion of topography with fixed inclination. The inclination causes the erosion to be anisotropic. A zero-order consequence of the anisotropy is the dependence of the prefactor of the surface…
We show numerically that the roughness and growth exponents of a wide range of rough surfaces, such as random deposition with relaxation (RDR), ballistic deposition (BD) and restricted solid-on-solid model (RSOS), are independent of the…
We present a recently introduced real space renormalization group (RG) approach to the study of surface growth. The method permits us to obtain the properties of the KPZ strong coupling fixed point, which is not accessible to standard…
The existence of a fundamental length scale in Nature is a common prediction of distinct quantum gravity models. Discovery of such would profoundly change current knowledge of quantum phenomena and modifications to the Heisenberg…
Accurate description of the topography of active faults surfaces represents an important geophysical issue because this topography is strongly related to the stress distribution along fault planes, and therefore to processes implicated in…
In this paper we formulate a geometric theory of elasticity and anelasticity for bodies containing material surfaces with their own elastic energies and distributed surface eigenstrains. Bulk elasticity is written in the language of…
The objective of the current study is to utilize an innovative method called 'change probabilities' for describing fracture roughness. In order to detect and visualize anisotropy of rock joint surfaces, the roughness of one-dimensional…
Turbulence anisotropy was recently integrated into Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST), extending its applicability to complex terrain and diverse surface conditions. Implementing this generalized MOST in numerical models, however,…
The scaling properties of correlation functions of non-scalar fields (constructed from velocity derivatives) in isotropic hydrodynamic turbulence are characterized by a set of universal exponents. It is explained that these exponents also…
We consider a model for elastic dislocations in geophysics. We model a portion of the Earth's crust as a bounded, inhomogeneous elastic body with a buried fault surface, along which slip occurs. We prove well-posedness of the resulting…
Conserved surface roughening represents a special case of interface dynamics where the total height of the interface is conserved. Recently, it was suggested [F. Caballero et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 020601 (2018)] that the original…
Universality in isotropic, abelian and non-abelian, sandpile models is examined using extensive numerical simulations. To characterize the critical behavior we employ an extended set of critical exponents, geometric features of the…
This paper establishes a universal framework for the nonlocal modeling of anisotropic damage at finite strains. By the combination of two recent works, the new framework allows for the flexible incorporation of different established…
Among systems that display generic scale invariance, those whose asymptotic properties are anisotropic in space (strong anisotropy, SA) have received a relatively smaller attention, specially in the context of kinetic roughening for…
We study the scaling properties of self-flattening surfaces under global suppression on surface fluctuations. Evolution of self-flattening surfaces is described by restricted solid-on-solid type monomer deposition-evaporation model with…
We point out how geometric features affect the scaling properties of non-equilibrium dynamic processes, by a model for surface growth where particles can deposit and evaporate only in dimer form, but dissociate on the surface. Pinning…
We generalize the `filtering spectrum' [1] to probe scales along different directions by spatial coarse-graining. This multi-dimensional filtering spectrum quantifies the spectral content of flows that are not necessarily homogeneous. From…
