Dynamical Ensembles in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics.

چکیده
Ruelle’s principle for turbulence leading to what is usually called the Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen distribution (SRB) is applied to the statistical mechanics of many particle systems in nonequilibrium stationary states. A specific prediction, obtained without the need to construct explicitly the SRB itself, is shown to be in agreement with a recent computer experiment on a strongly sheared fluid. This presents the first test of the principle on a many particle system far from equilibrium. A possible application to fluid mechanics is also discussed.

Kinetic theory of non-hamiltonian statistical ensembles
A nonequilibrium statistical operator method is developed for ensembles of particles obeying non-Hamiltonian equations of motion in classical phase space. The main consequences of non-zero compressibility of phase space are examined in terms of time-dependent dynamic quantities. The generalized transport equations involve the phase-space compressibility in a non-trivial way. Our results are use...
متن کاملCycles, randomness, and transport from chaotic dynamics to stochastic processes.
An overview of advances at the frontier between dynamical systems theory and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is given. Sensitivity to initial conditions is a mechanism at the origin of dynamical randomness-alias temporal disorder-in deterministic dynamical systems. In spatially extended systems, sustaining transport processes, such as diffusion, relationships can be established between the...
متن کاملInequivalence of dynamical ensembles in a generalized driven diffusive lattice gas
We generalize the driven diffusive lattice gas model by using a combination of Kawasaki and Glauber dynamics. We find via Monte Carlo simulations and perturbation studies that the simplest possible generalization of the equivalence of the canonical and grand-canonical ensembles, which holds in equilibrium, does not apply for this class of nonequilibrium systems.
متن کاملNon-dissipative effects in nonequilibrium systems
We consider aspects of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics that have traditionally not been considered in irreversible thermodynamics. More specifically we refer to the frenetic contribution in fluctuation and response theory, which complements the entropic component. Frenesy then refers to an amount of volatility or of dynamical activity defined on trajectories in some reduced description. It...
متن کاملQuantum-classical correspondence principles for locally nonequilibrium driven systems.
Many of the core concepts and (especially field-theoretic) tools of statistical mechanics have developed within the context of thermodynamic equilibrium, where state variables are all taken to be charges, meaning that their values are inherently preserved under reversal of the direction of time. A principle concern of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is to understand the emergence and stabi...
