Hydrodynamic Equations for a system with translational and rotational dynamics
Abstract
We obtain the equations of fluctuating hydrodynamics for many-particle systems whose microscopic units have both translational and rotational motion. The orientational dynamics of each element are studied in terms of the rotational Brownian motion of a corresponding fixed-length director . The time evolution of a set of collective densities is obtained as an exact representation of the corresponding microscopic dynamics. For the Smoluchowski dynamics, noise in the Langevin equation for the director is multiplicative. We obtain that the equation of motion for the collective number-density has two different forms, respectively, for the I\"{t}o and Stratonvich interpretation of the multiplicative noise in the -equation. Without the variable, both reduce to the Standard Dean-Kawasaki form. Next, we average the microscopic equations for the collective densities (which are, at this stage, a collection of Dirac delta functions) over phase space variables and obtain a corresponding set of stochastic partial differential equations for the coarse-grained densities with smooth spatial and temporal dependence. The coarse-grained equations of motion for the collective densities constitute the fluctuating non-linear hydrodynamics for the fluid with both rotational and translational dynamics. From the stationary solution of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, we obtain a free energy functional and demonstrate the relation between the s for different levels of the FNH descriptions with its corresponding set of .
