Statistical mechanics of transport processes in active fluids: Equations of hydrodynamics

Abstract

The equations of hydrodynamics including mass, linear momentum, angular momentum, and energy are derived by coarse-graining the microscopic equations of motion for systems consisting of rotary dumbbells driven by internal torques.
