From particle systems to Fluid Mechanics
Isabelle Gallagher
(University of Paris-Diderot)
Abstract
The question of deriving Fluid Mechanics equations from deterministic
systems of interacting particles obeying Newton's laws, in the limit
when the number of particles goes to infinity, is a longstanding open
problem suggested by Hilbert in his 6th problem. In this talk we shall
present a few attempts in this program, by explaining how to derive some
linear models such as the Heat, acoustic and Stokes-Fourier equations.
This corresponds to joint works with Thierry Bodineau and Laure Saint
Raymond.
