Nonequilibrium Stationary States of Harmonic Chains with Bulk Noises

Statistical Mechanics 2015-05-30 v2 Probability

Abstract

We consider a chain composed of NN coupled harmonic oscillators in contact with heat baths at temperature TT_\ell and TrT_r at sites 1 and NN respectively. The oscillators are also subjected to non-momentum conserving bulk stochastic noises. These make the heat conductivity satisfy Fourier's law. Here we describe some new results about the hydrodynamical equations for typical macroscopic energy and displacement profiles, as well as their fluctuations and large deviations, in two simple models of this type.
