THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS IN FLUIDS L T1T1 T2T2 T 1 = T 2
4
Thermal fluctuations in a temperature gradient T1T1 T2T2 L Rayleigh number: α is thermal expansion coefficient ν is kinematic viscosity a = λ/ρc p is thermal diffusivity T 1 > T 2

6
Example: stochastic temperature evolution equation (at constant pressure) “Fluctuating” heat equation Linear phenomenological laws are valid only “on average”: Fluctuating Hydrodynamics
7
Thermal fluctuations in equilibrium Fluctuation-dissipation theorem:

Fluid in temperature gradient Fluctuating heat equation: Fluctuating Navier-Stokes equation at constant pressure: Coupling between heat mode and viscous mode through T 0
9
Assumption: local equilibrium for noise correlations
