Diffusive limit for the random Lorentz gas

Mathematical Physics 2016-08-30 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We review some recent results concerning the derivation of the diffusion equation and the validation of Fick's law for the microscopic model given by the random Lorentz Gas. These results are achieved by using a linear kinetic equation as an intermediate level of description between our original mechanical system and the diffusion equation.
