Distribution of injected power fluctuations in electroconvection
Tibor Tóth-Katona, James T. Gleeson
Abstract
We report on the distribution spectra of the fluctations in the amount of power injected into a liquid crystal undergoing electroconvective flow. The probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the fluctuations as well as the magnitude of the fluctuations have been determined in a wide range of imposed stress both for `unconfined' and `confined' flow geometries. These spectra are compared to those found in other systems held far from equilibrium, and find that in certain conditions we obtain the ''universal'' PDF form reported in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3744 (2000)]. Moreover, the PDF approaches this universal form via an interesting mechanism whereby the distribution's negative tail evolves towards form in a different manner than the positive tail.
