Excerpt from Long-Range Correlations in Kinetic Theory
The aim of kinetic theory and statistical mechanics is to explain the macroscopic properties of matter on the basis of the properties of the (microscopically small) molecules of which it consists. Accordingly, in kinetic theory, a fluid is regarded as a dynamical system consisting of a very large number of particles we shall use the terms molecule and particle synonymously. Two molecules of a fluid are said to be correlated if the position and velocity of one of them are not independent of those of the other.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of long-range correlations in kinetic theory and statistical mechanics, focusing on their significance in a fluid's macroscopic properties. The author demonstrates that these correlations, often neglected in fluid dynamics, are conserved for macroscopically long times under certain conditions. This discovery challenges the assumption that they can be ignored, opening new avenues in the study of turbulence. The book also examines the validity of the Boltzmann equation in the presence of turbulence and proposes a generalized kinetic equation that incorporates correlations. By extending kinetic theory to include long-range correlations, this book sheds light on the connection between kinetic theory and turbulent fluid dynamics, providing a deeper understanding of both fields.
