Abstract

The decomposition of the energy of a compressible fluid parcel into slow (deterministic) and fast (stochastic) components is interpreted as a stochastic Hamiltonian interacting particle system (HIPS). It is shown that the McKean-Vlasov equation associated to the mean field limit yields the barotropic Navier-Stokes equation with density dependent viscosity. Capillary forces can also be treated by this approach. Due to the Hamiltonian structure the mean field system satisfies a Kelvin circulation theorem along stochastic Lagrangian paths.
