Microscopic Models of Hydrodynamic Behavior
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent developments in the rigorous derivation of hydrodynamic-type macroscopic equations from simple microscopic models: continuous time stochastic cellular automata. The deterministic evolution of hydrodynamic variables emerges as the "law of large numbe~s," which holds with probability one in the limit in which the ratio of the microscopic to the macroscopic spatial and temporal scales go to zero. We also study fluctuations in the microscopic system about the solution of the macroscopic equations. These can lead, in cases where the latter exhibit instabilities, to complete divergence in behavior between the two at long macroscopic times. Examples include Burgers' equation with shocks and diffusion-reaction equations with traveling fronts.

Hydrodynamic Behavior of Particles in a Jet Flow of a Gas Fluidized Bed
Numerous investigations have been devoted towards understanding the hydrodynamics of gas jets in fluidized beds. However, most of them address the problem from macroscopic point of view, which does not reveal the true behavior in the jet region at the single particle level. The present work aims to understand the jet behavior from a more fundamental level, i.e. the individual particle leve...
متن کاملComputer Simulation of Hydrodynamic Behavior of Aggregative Fluidized Beds
Hydrodynamic behavior of aggregative fluidized beds has been studied and a model proposed for the prediction of different characteristics of fluidized beds. According to this model, a computer program is prepared and the hydrodynamic behavior of some industrial units has been simulated.
متن کاملA two-scale approach to the hydrodynamic limit Part II: local Gibbs behavior
This work is a follow-up on Grunewald et al. (2009). In that previous work a two-scale approach was used to prove the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for a system of spins with fixed mean whose potential is a bounded perturbation of a Gaussian, and to derive an abstract theorem for the convergence to the hydrodynamic limit. This strategy was then successfully applied to Kawasaki dynamics. Here w...
متن کاملSteady-state solutions of hydrodynamic traffic models.
We investigate steady-state solutions of hydrodynamic traffic models in the absence of any intrinsic inhomogeneity on roads such as on-ramps. It is shown that typical hydrodynamic models possess seven different types of inhomogeneous steady-state solutions. The seven solutions include those that have been reported previously only for microscopic models. The characteristic properties of wide jam...
متن کاملNonlinear driven diffusive systems with dissipation: fluctuating hydrodynamics.
We consider a general class of nonlinear diffusive models with bulk dissipation and boundary driving and derive its hydrodynamic description in the large size limit. Both the average macroscopic behavior and the fluctuating properties of the hydrodynamic fields are obtained from the microscopic dynamics. This analysis yields a fluctuating balance equation for the local energy density at the mes...
