Diffusion coefficients are obtained from linear response functions and from the quantal fluctuation dissipation theorem. They are compared with the results of both the theory of hydrodynamic fluctuations by Landau and Lifschitz as well as…
A quantitative relationship between the diffusion coefficient $D$ of a tagged particle in a liquid and the entropy $S$ of that liquid has long been sought, as it would allow entropy to be inferred directly from diffusion measurements and…
Chiral active fluids can exhibit odd viscosity, a property that breaks the time-reversal and parity symmetries. Here, we examine the hydrodynamic flows of a rigid disk moving in a compressible 2D fluid layer with odd viscosity, supported by…
We investigate the Thomson-Onsager relation between the spin-dependent Seebeck and spin-dependent Peltier effect. To maintain identical device and measurement conditions we measure both effects in a single…
In this paper we derive a class of thermodynamically consistent diffuse-interface mixture models of incompressible multicomponent fluids. The class of mixture models is fully compatible with the continuum theory of mixtures. The resulting…
We show that the kinetic-theoretical self-diffusion coefficient of an atomic fluid plays the same role as the short-time self-diffusion coefficient D_S in a colloidal liquid, in the sense that the dynamic properties of the former, at times…
In this paper, we extend some of the multilevel convergence results obtained by Xu and Zhu in [Xu and Zhu, M3AS 2008], to the case of second order linear reaction-diffusion equations. Specifically, we consider the multilevel preconditioners…

We investigate the validity of Fluctuation-Dissipation (FD) relations for a mixture of two granular gases with different physical properties (restitution coefficients or masses) subject to stochastic driving. It is well known that the…
The problem of the molecular diffusion in a biphasic fluid mixture is studied here from the two complementary points of view of Continuum Mechanics - in a somewhat different manner from Truesdell in "Mechanical basis of diffusion" (J. Chem.…
We discuss the linear hydrodynamic response of a two-dimensional active chiral compressible fluid with odd viscosity. The viscosity coefficient represents broken time-reversal and parity symmetries in the 2D fluid and characterizes the…
The van Leeuwen proof of linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is generalized to thermal ensembles. This allows generalization to finite temperatures of the Gross-Kohn relation, the exchange-correlation kernel of…
