Chapman-Enskog expansion about nonequilibrium states: the sheared granular fluid
James F. Lutsko
The Chapman-Enskog method of solution of kinetic equations, such as the Boltzmann equation, is based on an expansion in gradients of the deviations fo the hydrodynamic fields from…
Hydrodynamics of an inelastic gas with implications for sonochemistry
James F. Lutsko
The hydrodynamics for a gas of hard-spheres which sometimes experience inelastic collisions resulting in the loss of a fixed, velocity-independent, amount of energy is investig…
Theoretical evidence for a dense fluid precursor to crystallization
James F. Lutsko, Grégoire Nicolis
We present classical density functional theory calculations of the free energy landscape for fluids below their triple point as a function of density and crystallinity. We find tha…
First Principles Derivation of Effective Ginzburg-Landau Free Energy models for Crystalline Systems
James F. Lutsko
The expression of the free energy density of a classical crystalline system as a gradient expansion in terms of a set of order parameters is developed using classical density funct…
Generalized diffusion equation
Jean Pierre Boon, James F. Lutsko
Modern analyses of diffusion processes have proposed nonlinear versions of the Fokker-Planck equation to account for non-classical diffusion. These nonlinear equations are usually…
Nonextensive diffusion as nonlinear response
James F. Lutsko, Jean Pierre Boon
The porous media equation has been proposed as a phenomenological ``non-extensive'' generalization of classical diffusion. Here, we show that a very similar equation can be derived…
The effect of the range of interaction on the phase diagram of a globular protein
James F. Lutsko, Gregoire Nicolis
Thermodynamic perturbation theory is applied to the model of globular proteins studied by ten Wolde and Frenkel (Science 277, pg. 1976) using computer simulation. It is found that…
Transport properties of dense dissipitive hard-sphere fluids for arbitrary energy loss models
James F. Lutsko
The revised Enskog approximation for a fluid of hard spheres which lose energy upon collision is discussed for the case that the energy is lost from the normal component of the vel…
