It is well known that entropy production is a proxy to the detection of non-equilibrium, i.e. of the absence of detailed balance; however, due to the global character of this quantity, its knowledge does not allow to identify spatial…

For configurational changes of soft matter systems affected or caused by external hydrodynamic flow, we identify applied work, exchanged heat, and entropy change on the level of a single trajectory. These expressions guarantee invariance of…

The shear shallow water model is an extension of the classical shallow water model to include the effects of vertical shear. It is a system of six non-linear hyperbolic PDE with non-conservative products. We develop a high-order entropy…

The paper explores three known methods, their variants and limitations, that can be used to obtain new entropy inequalities. The Copy Lemma was distilled from the original Zhang-Yeung construction which produced the first non-Shannon…

Nonlinear diffusion $\partial_t \rho = \Delta(\Phi(\rho))$ is considered for a class of nonlinearities $\Phi$. It is shown that for suitable choices of $\Phi$, an associated Lyapunov functional can be interpreted as thermodynamics entropy.…

A positive rate of entropy production at steady state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer a unique opportunity to explore the thermodynamic features…

In this document we are interested in entropy. Entropy is multiple, the idea is to describe the definition proposed by the physicist Clausius. Indeed, Clausius exposes in 1865 the second principle of thermodynamics and also proposes the…

Non-reciprocal interactions are present in many systems out of equilibrium. The rate of entropy production is a measure that quantifies the time irreversibility of a system, and thus how far it is from equilibrium. In this work, we…

The time decay of fully discrete finite-volume approximations of porous-medium and fast-diffusion equations with Neumann or periodic boundary conditions is proved in the entropy sense. The algebraic or exponential decay rates are computed…

Entropy production is a universal measure of irreversibility and energy dissipation in physical, chemical, and biological systems operating far from equilibrium. However, quantifying and spatiotemporally localising it in complex processes…
