AbstractThe phenomenology of turbulent relative dispersion is revisited. A heuristic scenario is proposed, in which pairs of tracers undergo a succession of independent ballistic separations during time intervals whose lengths fluctuate. This approach suggests that the logarithm of the distance between tracers self-averages and performs a continuous-time random walk. This leads to specific predictions for the probability distribution of separations, which differ from those obtained using scale-dependent eddy-diffusivity models (e.g. in the framework of Richardson’s approach). These predictions are tested against high-resolution simulations and shed new light on the explosive separation between tracers.

In many physical, social, and economic phenomena, we observe changes in a studied quantity only in discrete, irregularly distributed points in time. The stochastic process usually applied to describe this kind of variable is the continuous-time random walk (CTRW). Despite the popularity of these types of stochastic processes and strong empirical motivation, models with a long-term memory within the sequence of time intervals between observations are rare in the physics literature. Here, we fill this gap by introducing a new family of CTRWs. The memory is introduced to the model by assuming that many consecutive time intervals can be the same. Surprisingly, in this process we can observe a slowly decaying nonlinear autocorrelation function without a fat-tailed distribution of time intervals. Our model, applied to high-frequency stock market data, can successfully describe the slope of decay of the nonlinear autocorrelation function of stock market returns. We achieve this result without imposing any dependence between consecutive price changes. This proves the crucial role of inter-event times in the volatility clustering phenomenon observed in all stock markets.

Let X(t) be the position at time t of a particle undergoing a simple symmetrical random walk in continuous time, i.e. the particle starts at the origin at time t = 0 and at times T1, T1 + T2, … it undergoes jumps ξ1, ξ2, …, where the time intervals T1, T2, … between successive jumps are mutually independent random variables each following the exponential density e–t while the jumps, which are independent of the τi, are mutually independent random variables with the distribution . The process X(t) is clearly a Markov process whose state space is the set of all integers.
