Turbulence and Shock-Waves in Crowd Dynamics

In this paper we analyze crowd turbulence from both classical and quantum perspective. We analyze various crowd waves and collisions using crowd macroscopic wave function. In particular, we will show that nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is fundamental for quantum turbulence, while its closed-form solutions include shock-waves, solitons and rogue waves, as well as planar de Broglie's waves. We start by modeling various crowd flows using classical fluid dynamics, based on Navier-Stokes equations. Then, we model turbulent crowd flows using quantum turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensation, based on modified NLS equation.
