The statistical theory of dark matter flow and high order kinematic and dynamic relations for velocity correlation functions

The statistical theory of dark matter flow and high order kinematic and dynamic relations for velocity correlation functions

Statistical theory for self-gravitating collisionless dark matter flow is not fully developed because of 1) intrinsic complexity involving constant divergence flow on small scale and irrotational flow on large scale; 2) lack of self-closed description for peculiar velocity; and 3) mathematically challenging. To better understand dark matter flow, kinematic and dynamic relations among different statistical measures of velocity must be developed for different types of flow. In this paper, a compact derivation is presented to formulate general kinematic relations of any order for incompressible, constant divergence, and irrotational flow. Results are validated by N-body simulation. Dynamic relations can only be determined from self-closed description of velocity evolution. On large scale, we found i) third order velocity correlation can be related to density correlation or pairwise velocity; ii) effective viscosity in adhesion model originates from velocity fluctuations; iii) negative viscosity is due to inverse energy cascade; iv) \(q\)th order velocity correlations follow \(\propto a^{(q+2)/2}\) for odd q and \(\propto a^{q/2}\) for even q; v) overdensity is proportional to density correlation on the same scale, \(\langle\delta\rangle\propto\langle\delta\delta'\rangle\); vi) (reduced) velocity dispersion is proportional to density correlation on the same scale. On small scale, self-closed description for velocity evolution is developed by decomposing velocity into motion in halo and motion of halos. Vorticity, enstrophy, and energy evolution can all be derived from self-closed equation for velocity. Dynamic relation is derived to relate second and third order correlations. Third moment of pairwise velocity is determined by energy cascade rate \(\epsilon_u\) or \(\langle(\Delta u_L)^3\rangle\propto\epsilon_uar\). Finally, combined kinematic and dynamic relations determines the exponential and one-fourth power law velocity correlations on large and small scales, respectively.
