THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS IN FLUIDS T1 L T1 = T2 T2
Thermal fluctuations in a temperature gradient T1 L T1 >T2 T2 Rayleigh number: αis thermal expansion coefficient νis kinematic viscosity a = λ/ρcp is thermal diffusivity
T.R. Kirkpatrick, E.G.D. Cohen, and J.R. Dorfman Phys. Rev. Lett.44, 472 (1980)
Fluctuating Hydrodynamics Example: stochastic temperature evolution equation (at constant pressure) Linear phenomenological laws are valid only “on average”: “Fluctuating” heat equation
Thermal fluctuations in equilibrium Fluctuation-dissipation theorem:
Fluid in temperature gradient Fluctuating heat equation: Fluctuating Navier-Stokes equation at constant pressure: Coupling between heat mode and viscous mode through T0
