Scaling regimes of the one-dimensional phase turbulence in the deterministic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

We consider the one-dimensional deterministic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the regime of phase turbulence, where the order parameter displays a defect-free chaotic phase dynamics, which maps to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, characterized by negative viscosity and a modulational instability at linear level. In this regime, the dynamical behavior of the large wavelength modes is captured by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class, determining their universal scaling and their statistical properties. These modes exhibit the characteristic KPZ superdiffusive scaling with the dynamical critical exponent $z=3/2$. We present numerical evidence of the existence of an additional scale-invariant regime, with the dynamical exponent $z=1$, emerging at scales which are intermediate between the microscopic ones, intrinsic to the modulational instability, and the macroscopic ones. We argue that this new scaling regime belongs to the universality class corresponding to the inviscid limit of the KPZ equation.
