System of number-fraction beta SDEs.

Contents

This file implements the time integration of a system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with linear drift and quadratic diagonal diffusion, whose invariant is the joint beta distribution. The main difference compared to the plain beta SDE (see DiffEq/Beta.h), is that in the number-fraction beta SDE the dependent variable, there are two additional stochastic variables computed from the beta variables.

In a nutshell, the equation integrated governs a set of scalars, $0\!\le\!X_\alpha$ , $\alpha\!=\!1,\dots,N$ , as

\[ \mathrm{d}X_\alpha(t) = \frac{b_\alpha}{2}\left(S_\alpha - X_\alpha\right) \mathrm{d}t + \sqrt{\kappa_\alpha X_\alpha(1-X_\alpha)} \mathrm{d}W_\alpha(t), \qquad \alpha=1,\dots,N \]

with parameter vectors $b_\alpha > 0$ , $\kappa_\alpha > 0$ , and $0 < S_\alpha < 1$ . This is the same as in DiffEq/Beta.h. Here $\mathrm{d}W_\alpha(t)$ is an isotropic vector-valued Wiener process with independent increments. The invariant distribution is the joint beta distribution. This system of SDEs consists of N independent equations. For more on the beta SDE, see https://doi.org/10.1080/14685248.2010.510843.

In addition to integrating the above SDE, there are two additional functions of $ X_\alpha $ are computed as

\[ \begin{aligned} \rho(X_\alpha) & = \rho_{2\alpha} ( 1 - r'_\alpha X_\alpha ) \\ V(X_\alpha) & = \frac{1}{ \rho(X\alpha) } \end{aligned} \]

These equations compute the instantaneous mixture density, $ \rho $ , and instantaneous specific volume, $ V_\alpha $ , for equation $ \alpha $ in the system. These quantities are used in binary mixing of variable-density turbulence between two fluids with constant densities, $ \rho_1, $ and $ \rho_2 $ . The additional parameters, $ \rho_2 $ and $ r' $ are user input parameters and kept constant during integration. Since we compute the above variables, $\rho,$ and $V$ , and call them mixture density and specific volume, respectively, $X$ , governed by the beta SDE is a number (or mole) fraction, hence the name number-fraction beta.
