Generalized Green-Kubo formulas for fluids with impulsive, dissipative, stochastic and conservative interactions
Abstract
We present a generalization of the Green-Kubo expressions for thermal transport coefficients in complex fluids of the generic form, , i.e. a sum of an instantaneous transport coefficient , and a time integral over a time correlation function in a state of thermal equilibrium between a current and a transformed current . The streaming operator generates the trajectory of a dynamical variable when used inside the thermal average . These formulas are valid for conservative, impulsive (hard spheres), stochastic and dissipative forces (Langevin fluids), provided the system approaches a thermal equilibrium state. In general and , except for the case of conservative forces, where the equality signs apply. The most important application in the present paper is the hard sphere fluid.
