14: Hydrodynamics

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • Diffusion equations, random walks, and the Langevin equation are useful for describing transport driven by random thermal forces under equilibrium conditions or not far from equilibrium (the linear response regime).
  • Fluid Dynamics and hydrodynamics refer to continuum approaches that allows us to describe non-equilibrium conditions for transport in fluids. Hydrodynamics describes flow and transport of objects through a fluid experiencing resistance or friction.
