The expanding complex pattern of filaments, walls and voids build the evolving cosmic web with material flowing from underdense onto high density regions. Here we explore the dynamical behaviour of voids and galaxies in void shells relative to neighboring overdense superstructures, using the Millenium Simulation and the main galaxy catalogue in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data. We define a correlation measure to estimate the tendency of voids to be located at a given distance from a superstructure. We find voids-in-clouds (S-types) preferentially located closer to superstructures than voids-in-voids (R-types) although we obtain that voids within $sim40~mathrm{Mpc},mathrm{h}^{-1}$ of superstructures are infalling in a similar fashion independently of void type. Galaxies residing in void shells show infall towards the closest superstructure, along with the void global motion, with a differential velocity component depending on their relative position in the shell with respect to the direction to the superstructure. This effect is produced by void expansion and therefore is stronger for R-types. We also find that galaxies in void shells facing the superstrucure flow towards the overdensities faster than galaxies elsewere at the same relative distance to the superstructure. The results obtained for the simulation are also reproduced for the SDSS data with a linearized velocity field implementation.

Reconstruction of the local velocity field from the overdensity field and a gravitational acceleration that falls off from a point mass as r^-2 yields velocities in broad agreement with peculiar velocities measured with galaxy distance indicators. MO
NDian gravity does not. To quantify this, we introduce the velocity angular correlation function as a diagnostic of peculiar velocity field alignment and coherence as a function of scale. It is independent of the bias parameter of structure formation in the standard model of cosmology and the acceleration parameter of MOND. A modified gravity acceleration consistent with observed large scale structure would need to asymptote to zero at large distances more like r^-2, than r^-1.
We study the evolution of the cross-correlation between voids and the mass density field - i.e. of void profiles. We show that approaches based on the spherical model alone miss an important contribution to the evolution on large scales of most inter
est to cosmology: they fail to capture the well-known fact that the large-scale bias factor of conserved tracers evolves. We also show that the operations of evolution and averaging do not commute, but this difference is only significant within about two effective radii. We show how to include a term which accounts for the evolution of bias, which is directly related to the fact that voids move. The void motions are approximately independent of void size, so they are more significant for smaller voids that are typically more numerous. This term also contributes to void-matter pairwise velocities: including it is necessary for modeling the typical outflow speeds around voids. It is, therefore, important for void redshift space distortions. Finally, we show that the excursion set peaks/troughs approach provides a useful, but not perfect framework for describing void profiles and their evolution.
Gravitational collapse in cosmological context produces an intricate cosmic web of voids, walls, filaments and nodes. The anisotropic nature of collisionless collapse leads to the emergence of an anisotropic velocity dispersion, or stress, that absor
bs most of the kinetic energy after shell-crossing. In this paper, we measure this large-scale velocity dispersion tensor $sigma^2_{ij}$ in $N$-body simulations using the phase-space interpolation technique. We study the environmental dependence of the amplitude and anisotropy of the velocity dispersion tensor field, and measure its spatial correlation and alignment. The anisotropy of $sigma^2_{ij}$ naturally encodes the collapse history and thus leads to a parameter-free identification of the four dynamically distinct cosmic web components. We find this purely dynamical classification to be in good agreement with some of the existing classification methods. In particular, we demonstrate that $sigma^2_{ij}$ is well aligned with the large-scale tidal field. We further investigate the influence of small scale density fluctuations on the large scale velocity dispersion, and find that the measured amplitude and alignments are dominated by the largest perturbations and thus remain largely unaffected. We anticipate that these results will give important new insight into the anisotropic nature of gravitational collapse on large scales, and the emergence of anisotropic stress in the cosmic web.
CONTEXT. Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations predict flows of the intergalactic medium along the radial vector of the voids, approximately in the direction of the infall of matter at the early stages of the galaxy formation. AIMS. These flows m
ight be detected by analysing the dependence of the warp amplitude on the inclination of the galaxies at the shells of the voids with respect to the radial vector of the voids. This analysis will be the topic of this paper. METHODS. We develop a statistical method of analysing the correlation of the amplitude of the warp and the inclination of the galaxy at the void surface. This is applied to a sample of 97 edge-on galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our results are compared with the theoretical expectations, which are also derived in this paper. RESULTS. Our results allow us to reject the null hypothesis (i.e., the non-correlation of the warp amplitude and the inclination of the galaxy with respect to the void surface) at 94.4% C. L., which is not conclusive. The absence of the radial flows cannot be excluded at present, although we can put a constraint on the maximum average density of baryonic matter of the radial flows of <rho_b> <~ 4 Omega_b rho_crit.
The Cosmicflows-2 catalogue is a compendium of peculiar velocity measurements. While it has many objects in common with the COMPOSITE catalogue, a previously analysed collection of peculiar velocity data found to give an unexpectedly large bulk flow
on large scales, the data in Cosmicflows-2 have been reanalysed to ensure consistency between distances measured using different methods. In particular, a focus on accurate distances led the authors of the Cosmicflows-2 to not correct for homogeneous or inhomogeneous Malmquist bias, both or which are corrected for in the COMPOSITE compilation. We find remarkable agreement between the COMPOSITE and the Cosmicflows-2 if the small EFAR sample of clusters located in two dense superclusters is removed from both surveys, giving results that are inconsistent with the $Lambda$ cold dark matter standard model with Planck central parameters at the 98% level. On smaller scales we find overall agreement between data sets and consistency with the standard model.
