In the current work we construct a multimolecule random process which leads to the Boltzmann equation in the appropriate limit, and which is different from the deterministic real gas dynamics process. We approximate the statistical…
An isolated charge-neutral drop suspended in an unbounded medium does not migrate in a uniform DC electric field. A nearby wall breaks the symmetry and causes the drop to drift towards or away from the boundary, depending on the electric…
We develop a hydrodynamic description of the resistivity and magnetoresistance of an electron liquid in a smooth disorder potential. This approach is valid when the electron-electron scattering length is sufficiently short. In a broad range…

Non-diffusive, fluid-like transport of charge and heat has been observed in several materials, raising the question of whether they can emerge simultaneously and how they are related to bi-component electron-phonon fluids. Here we introduce…
Electron hydrodynamics is currently known to emerge only when electron-electron interaction dominates over the momentum-nonconserving scatterings of electrons, where the electron transport is described by a hydrodynamic equation. Here we…
