Flux Operators of Microdynamical Quantities in a Nonequilibrium Statistical Ensemble Formalism
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown how the closure condition for the set of kinetic equations in Zubarev's Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator Method introduces a series of uxes of a reference set of densities. These uxes are the average values, over a Gibbs-like nonequilibrium generalized grandcanonical ensemble, of Hermitian operators for uxes de ned at the microscopic-mechanical level. The equations of evolution for these uxes (or equivalently for their conjugated Lagrange multipliers) are described.

Ensemble Formalism for Nonequilibrium Systems and an Associated Irreversible Statistical Thermodynamics
It is reviewed what can be considered as the present research trends in what regards to the construction of an ensemble formalism – Gibbs’ style – for the case of far-from-equilibrium systems. The main questions involved are presented accompanied with brief discussions. The construction of a nonequilibrium statistical operator is described and its applications commented, and, particularly, it i...
متن کاملThermo-Statistics of Irreversible Processes: a Boltzmann-Gibbs-Style Ensemble Formalism
The area of Physics indicated in the title is nowadays of quite relevant interest, not only from the purely scientific point of view, but specially for its applied aspects associated to the present-time point-first-technologies. A particular research trend in the theory of irreversible processes, which are evolving in time in systems arbitrarily departed from equilibrium, is here briefly descri...
متن کاملNonequilibrium stochastic processes: time dependence of entropy flux and entropy production.
Based on the Fokker-Planck and the entropy balance equations we have studied the relaxation of a dissipative dynamical system driven by external Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise processes in the absence and presence of nonequilibrium constraint in terms of the thermodynamically inspired quantities such as entropy flux and entropy production. The interplay of nonequilibrium constraint, dissipation, and ...
متن کاملReversing the perturbation in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics: an easy way to calculate the shear viscosity of fluids.
A nonequilibrium method for calculating the shear viscosity is presented. It reverses the cause-and-effect picture customarily used in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics: the effect, the momentum flux or stress, is imposed, whereas the cause, the velocity gradient or shear rate, is obtained from the simulation. It differs from other Norton-ensemble methods by the way in which the steady-state mo...
متن کاملDynamical Chaos and Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Chaos in the motion of atoms and molecules composing fluids is a new topic in nonequilibrium physics. Relationships have been established between the characteristic quantities of chaos and the transport coefficients thanks to the concept of fractal repeller and the escape-rate formalism. Moreover, the hydrodynamic modes of relaxation to the thermodynamic equilibrium as well as the nonequilibriu...
