22. - 1 and A (y) is the interpolation function given by Mel'nikov and Meshkov (Ref.): A (y) = exp [1 π 0 d x ln { 1 - exp [- y (x 2 + 1 4)] } / (x 2 + 1 4)].
23. The equations were numerically integrated using the Stochastic Runge Kutta algorithm (3o4s2g) with time step 0.01.
24. For the correction factor α introduced in the BHL theory (Ref.), we use the standard value α = 1.
25. - 1 = √ m / V 0. Then, the adimensionalized parameters are γ = γ / ω = 1.50 γ, T = k B T / V 0 = 6.45 k B T, and I = I / (ω V 0) = 9.70 I.
