Nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics and anharmonic chains

Prof. Herbert Spohn

Rather commonly, Hamiltonian systems at nonzero temperature
in one spatial dimension have short range static correlations, but
long-lived excitations. The slowest modes are the locally conserved fields.
To capture their universal behavior we develop a nonlinear version of
fluctuating hydrodynamics. The best studied systems are classical
anharmonic chains. We compare with MD simulations.
