Large fluctuations in non-ideal coarse-grained systems

Abstract

Using the recently introduced Molecular Dynamics Lattice Gas (MDLG) approach, we test fluctuations of coarse-grained quantities. We show that as soon as the system can no longer be considered an ideal gas fluctuations fail to diminish upon coarse-graining as is usually expected. These results suggest that current approaches to simulating fluctuating hydrodynamics may have to be augmented to achieve quantitative results for systems with a non-ideal equation of state. The MDLG method gives a guidance to the exact nature of the fluctuation in such systems.
