We consider a generalized statistical mechanics model for the creation process of cosmic rays which takes into account local temperature uctuations. This model yields Tsallis statistics for the cosmic ray spectrum. It predicts an entropic index q given by q = 11 9 at largest energies (equivalent to

This paper considers numerically generated turbulence obtained by integrating the complete time-dependent three-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations. The simulated unidirectional turbulent flow, bounded by two parallel planes, is strongly inhomogeneous in the direction normal to the planes but homog
We have conducted experiments on an asymmetrically forced quasi-two-dimensional turbulent flow in a rapidly rotating annulus. Assuming conservation of potential enstrophy and energy, we maximize a nonextensive entropy function to obtain the azimuthally averaged vorticity as a function of radial posi
