Description

The scale and redshift variation of density and velocity distributions in dark matter flow and two-thirds law for pairwise velocity 

A halo-based non-projection approach is proposed to study the scale and redshift dependence of density and velocity distributions (PDF) in dark matter flow. All particles are divided into halo and out-of-halo particles such that PDF can be studied separately. Without projecting particle fields onto grid, scale dependence is analyzed by counting all pairs on different scales $r$. Redshift dependence is studied via generalized kurtosis. From this analysis, we can demonstrate: i) Delaunay tessellation can be used to reconstruct density field. Density correlations/spectrum are obtained, modeled and compared with theory; ii) $m$th moment of pairwise velocity can be analytically modelled. On small scale, even order moments can be modelled by a two-thirds law \(\langle(\Delta u_L)^{2n}\rangle\propto{(-\epsilon_ur)}^{2/3}\), while odd order moments \(\langle(\Delta u_L)^{2n+1}\rangle=(2n+1)\langle(\Delta u_L)^{2n}\rangle\langle\Delta u_L\rangle\propto{r}\) and satisfy a generalized stable clustering hypothesis (GSCH); iii) Scale dependence is studied for longitudinal velocity \(u_L\) or \(u_L^{'}\), pairwise velocity (velocity difference) \(\Delta u_L=u_L^{'}-u_L\) and velocity sum \(\Sigma u_L=u^{'}_L+u_L\). Fully developed velocity fields are never Gaussian on any scale; iv) On small scale, both \(u_L\) and \(\Sigma u_L\) can be modelled by a \(X\) distribution to maximize system entropy. Distributions of \(\Delta u_L\) is different with its moments analytically derived; v) On large scale, both \(\Delta u_L\) and \(\Sigma u_L\) can be modelled by a logistic function; vi) Redshift evolution of velocity distributions follows prediction of X distribution with a decreasing shape parameter \(\alpha(z)\) to continuously maximize system entropy.
