The memory kernel for a tagged particle in a fluid, computed from molecular dynamics simulations, decays algebraically as $t^{-3/2}$. We show how the hydrodynamic Basset-Boussinesq force naturally emerges from this long-time tail and…
The added mass effect is the contribution to a Brownian particle's effective mass arising from the hydrodynamic flow its motion induces. For a spherical particle in an incompressible fluid, the added mass is half the fluid's displaced mass,…
