  1. Light scattering and shadowgraph measurements of nonequilibrium fluctuations in fluids Jan V. Sengers Institute for Physical Science and Technology University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 107th Statistical Mechanics Meeting Rutgers University, May 6-8, 2012

  2. Outline • 1. Introduction: statement of problem • 2. Equilibrium fluctuating hydrodynamics • 3. Nonequilibrium fluctuating hydrodynamics • 4. Light-scattering experiments • 5. New shadowgraph experiments: gravity and finite-size effects

  3. THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS IN FLUIDS T1 L T1 = T2 T2

  4. Thermal fluctuations in a temperature gradient T1 L T1 >T2 T2 Rayleigh number: αis thermal expansion coefficient νis kinematic viscosity a = λ/ρcp is thermal diffusivity

  5. T.R. Kirkpatrick, E.G.D. Cohen, and J.R. Dorfman Phys. Rev. Lett.44, 472 (1980)

  6. Fluctuating Hydrodynamics Example: stochastic temperature evolution equation (at constant pressure) Linear phenomenological laws are valid only “on average”: “Fluctuating” heat equation

  7. Thermal fluctuations in equilibrium Fluctuation-dissipation theorem:

  8. Fluid in temperature gradient Fluctuating heat equation: Fluctuating Navier-Stokes equation at constant pressure: Coupling between heat mode and viscous mode through T0

  9. Assumption: local equilibrium for noise correlations
