Because of the spatially long-ranged nature of spontaneous fluctuations in thermal non-equilibrium systems, they are affected by boundary conditions for the fluctuating hydrodynamic variables. In this paper we consider a liquid mixture between two rigid and impervious plates with a stationary concentration gradient resulting from a temperature gradient through the Soret effect. For liquid mixtures with large Lewis and Schmidt numbers, we are able to obtain explicit analytical expressions for…

The NEUF-DIX space project - Non-EquilibriUm Fluctuations during DIffusion in compleX liquids

The focus of the project is on the investigation in micro-gravity conditions of the non-equilibrium fluctuations in complex liquids, trying to tackle several challenging problems that emerged during the latest years, such as the theoretical predictions of Casimir-like forces induced by non-Equilibrium fluctuations.

Non-local fluctuation phenomena in liquids

The experimental evidence for the consistency between this assumption of local equilibrium in the equations and the non-local fluctuation phenomena observed is reviewed.

Kinetics of growth of non-equilibrium fluctuations during thermodiffusion in a polymer solution

A phenomenological model is formulated that allows to relate the rate of growth of non-equilibrium fluctuations to the growth of the macroscopic concentration profile in the absence of arbitrary parameters.

Shadowgraph Analysis of Non-equilibrium Fluctuations for Measuring Transport Properties in Microgravity in the GRADFLEX Experiment

In a fluid system driven out of equilibrium by the presence of a gradient, fluctuations become long-ranged and their intensity diverges at large spatial scales. This divergence is prevented by…

The GRADFLEX experiment of ESA has shown that under microgravity conditions a stationary thermodiffusion process is accompanied by giant non-equilibrium fluctuations with size as large as the size of…

Non-equilibrium concentration fluctuations in superparamagnetic nanocolloids

It is found that the mass diffusion coefficient decreases in the presence of the external magnetic field and slowly rebounds after the magnetic field was turned off, and no correlation between the kinematic viscosity coefficient and the internal magnetic field is found.

Dynamic scaling for the growth of non-equilibrium fluctuations during thermophoretic diffusion in microgravity

This work investigates the onset of non-equilibrium concentration fluctuations induced by thermophoretic diffusion in microgravity, a regime not accessible to analytical calculations but of great relevance for the understanding of several natural and technological processes.

Fluctuating hydrodynamics of reactive liquid mixtures.

The FHD approach provides remarkable computational efficiency over traditional reaction-diffusion master equation methods when the number of reactive molecules is large, while also retaining accuracy even when there are as few as ten reactive molecules per hydrodynamic cell.

Long-wavelength nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations induced by the Soret effect.

It is shown how one can obtain an exact expression for the nonequilibrium structure factor in the long-wavelength limit for a fluid layer with realistic impermeable and no-slip boundary conditions.

Nonequilibrium fluctuations in the Rayleigh-Bénard problem for binary fluid mixtures

A simpler small-Lewis-number approximation scheme is proposed, which is useful to represent nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations for mixtures with positive separation ratio, even close to (but below) the convective instability.

Nonequilibrium Casimir-like Forces in Liquid Mixtures.

In this Letter, a liquid mixture confined between two thermally conducting walls subjected to a stationary temperature gradient is considered, finding that nonequilibrium fluctuations in a mixture induce a Casimir-like force on the walls.

Slowing-down of non-equilibrium concentration fluctuations in confinement

Fluctuations in a fluid are strongly affected by the presence of a macroscopic gradient making them long-ranged and enhancing their amplitude. While small-scale fluctuations exhibit diffusive…

Fluctuating hydrodynamics of multispecies nonreactive mixtures.

Good agreement with theory and experiment demonstrates that the formulation of the fluctuating Navier-Stokes equations for multispecies, nonreactive fluids is robust and can serve as a useful tool in the study of thermal fluctuations for mult ispecies fluids.
