Anankeon theory and viscosity of liquids: a toy model
arXiv:1708.06624
Abstract
A simplistic model, based on the concept of anankeon, is proposed to predict the value of the viscosity of a material in its liquid phase. As a result, within the simplifications and hypothesis made to define the model, it is possible to predict (a) the existence of a difference between strong and fragile liquids, (b) a fast variation of the viscosity near the glass transition temperature for fragile liquids. The model is a mechanical analog of the Drude model for the electric transport in metal.
