The Burnett expansion of the periodic Lorentz gas

چکیده

Recently, stretched exponential decay of multiple correlations in the periodic Lorentz gas has been used to show the convergence of a series of correlations which has the physical interpretations as the fourth order Burnett coefficient, a generalization of the diffusion coefficient. Here the result is extended to include all higher order Burnett coefficients, and give a plausible argument that the expansion constructed from the Burnett coefficients has a finite radius of convergence.

v 1 5 O ct 1 99 9 The existence of Burnett coefficients in the periodic Lorentz gas

The linear super-Burnett coefficient gives corrections to the diffusion equation in the form of higher derivatives of the density. Like the diffusion coefficient, it can be expressed in terms of integrals of correlation functions, but involving four different times. The power law decay of correlations in real gases (with many moving particles) and the random Lorentz gas (with one moving particl...

Using Burnett Equations to Derive an Analytical Solution to Pressure-Driven Gas Flow and Heat Transfer in Micro-Couette Flow

The aim of the present study is deriving an analytical solution to incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette geometry in the presence of a pressure gradient using Burnett equations with first- and second-order slip boundary conditions. The lower plate of the micro-Couette structure is stationary, whereas the upper plate moves at a constant velocity. Non-dimensional axial velocity and tempe...

Kinetic Transport in the Two-dimensional Periodic Lorentz Gas

Abstract. The periodic Lorentz gas describes an ensemble of non-interacting point particles in a periodic array of spherical scatterers. We have recently shown that, in the limit of small scatterer density (Boltzmann-Grad limit), the macroscopic dynamics converges to a stochastic process, whose kinetic transport equation is not the linear Boltzmann equation—in contrast to the Lorentz gas with a...

Thermostats: Analysis and application.

Gaussian isokinetic and isoenergetic deterministic thermostats are reviewed in the correct historical context with their later justification using Gauss' principle of least constraint. The Nose-Hoover thermostat for simulating the canonical ensemble is also developed. For some model systems the Lyapunov exponents satisfy the conjugate pairing rule and a Hamiltonian formulation is obtained. We p...

The Distribution of Free Path Lengths in the Periodic Lorentz Gas and Related Lattice Point Problems

The periodic Lorentz gas describes the dynamics of a point particle in a periodic array of spherical scatterers, and is one of the fundamental models for chaotic diffusion. In the present paper we investigate the Boltzmann-Grad limit, where the radius of each scatterer tends to zero, and prove the existence of a limiting distribution for the free path length of the periodic Lorentz gas. We also...
