Viscosity and Microscopic Chaos : The Helfand-moment Approach
Sebastien Viscardy
In this thesis, we first devote a section on the history of the concept of irreversibility; of the hydrodynamics, branch of physics in which the viscosity appears; of the kinetic t…

Viscosity in the escape-rate formalism
S. Viscardy, P. Gaspard
We apply the escape-rate formalism to compute the shear viscosity in terms of the chaotic properties of the underlying microscopic dynamics. A first passage problem is set up for t…
