By measuring the decay rate and the amplitude of the correlations, the accuracy of the Landau-Langevin equation of fluctuating hydrodynamics is checked. The results indicate that although a Langevin approach can be valid, the fluctuation-dissipation relation must be modified, since the viscosity parameter appearing in it differs from the usual hydrodynamic shear viscosity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-04-15T08:40:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fluctuation-dissipation relation", "granular gases", "usual hydrodynamic shear viscosity", "two-time correlation function", "transversal velocity field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2008, "month": "Oct", "volume": 84, "number": 2, "pages": 24002 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008EL.....8424002B" } } }
