Nonequilibrium Fluctuations Studied By A Rarefied Gas Simulation, Alejandro Garcia Jan 1986

Nonequilibrium Fluctuations Studied By A Rarefied Gas Simulation, Alejandro Garcia

Alejandro Garcia

A dilute gas under a constant heat flux is studied with use of a Monte Carlo simulation based on the Boltzmann equation. Results for several spatial correlation functions of equal-time fluctuations are reported and compared qualitatively with previous fluctuating hydrodynamics calculations for liquids.
