Abstract:
For a shell model of the fully developed turbulence and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the Fourier space, when a Gaussian white noise is artificially added to the equation of each mode, an expression of the mean linear response function in terms of the velocity correlation functions is derived by applying the method developed for nonequilibrium Langevin systems [Harada and Sasa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130602 (2005)]. We verify numerically for the shell-model case that the derived expression of the response function, as the noise tends to zero, converges to the response function of the noiseless shell model.

RL Circuit with Source
The transient response of the circuit is its temporary reaction to the sudden application of the DC source. This response is characterized by a current that exponentially decays to zero as time approaches infinity. During this transitional period, the inductor behaves like a short circuit, causing the source...
