An Onsager-like relation is proposed as a new criterion for constructing and analysing the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. For LB models obeying the relation, we analyse their linearized stability, establish their diffusive limit, and find…

Recent work by Philbin [1] has provided a Lagrangian theory that establishes a general method for the canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in any dispersive, lossy, linear dielectric. Working from this theory, we extend the…
We show that electromagnetic constitutive relations of materials, defined by a scalar permittivity, $\varepsilon$, and permeability, $\mu$, are the same for all inertial observers provided that $\varepsilon\mu = 1$ is satisfied. To…
To have a closed system, the Maxwell equations should be supplemented by constitutive relations which connect the primary electromagnetic fields $(\bE,\bB)$ with the secondary ones $(\bD,\bH)$ induced in a medium. Recently [Opt. Commun.…

In this work we study the properties of a relativistic mixture of two non-reacting dilute species in thermal local equilibrium. Following the conventional ideas in kinetic theory, we use the concept of chaotic velocity. In particular, we…
Onsager reciprocity $L_{ij}=L_{ji}$ is a cornerstone of near-equilibrium thermodynamics derived from microscopic time-reversal symmetry. We develop a geometric framework in which entropy-weighted reparameterization of thermodynamic response…

We consider an elastic-plastic medium whose motion equations are isomorphic to Maxwell's equations. Electrical charges are modeled by pressure centers of the medium. The electric interaction is shown to be concerned with the conservation…
In this paper we show that Onsager--Machlup time reversal properties of thermodynamic fluctuations and Onsager reciprocity relations for transport coefficients can hold also if the microscopic dynamics is not reversible. This result is…
