An approximate treatment of gravitational collapse

Abstract: This work studies a simplified model of the gravitational instability of an initially homogeneous infinite medium, represented by $\TT^d$, based on the approximation that the mean fluid velocity is always proportional to the local acceleration. It is shown that, mathematically, this assumption leads to the restricted Patlak-Keller-Segel model considered by J\"ager and Luckhaus or, equivalently, the Smoluchowski equation describing the motion of self-gravitating Brownian particles, coupled to the modified Newto… Show more

“…Its generalization known as the adhesion model [67,68] relies on multidimensional Burgers' equation in the limit of vanishing viscosity to describe structure formation in a uniform cold gravitationally unstable gas with random initial velocity perturbations [e.g. 69,70]. The cancellation stems from 'minimization' of nonlinear terms, which implies enslaving of the velocity by the density through the gravitational potential.…”
