Momentum fluctuations in coarse grained systems
arXiv:2012.09748 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.104.015304
Abstract
At first glance the definition of mass and momentum appears to be uniquely defined. We show here, however, that this certainty can be misleading for many coarse grained systems. We show that particularly the fluctuating properties of common definitions of momentum in coarse grained methods like lattice gas and lattice Boltzmann do not agree with a fundamental definition of momentum. In the case of lattice gases, the definition of momentum will even disagree in the limit of large wavelength. For short times we can give analytical representations for the distribution of different momentum measures and thereby give a full account of these differences.
