In this paper a general hydrodynamic mode coupling theory of equilibrium fluctuations in simple liquids is developed from molecular considerations. The approach developed here avoids the shortcomings of previous mode coupling theories by adopting a complete hierarchy of equations for the slow...

In this paper we examine the role of mode coupling in nonequilibrium granular flow systems and derive mode coupling equations for equal-time multi-linear correlation functions in general nonequilibrium systems. By applying N-ordering analysis and projection operator techniques, the hierarchy of...

In this paper a mode coupling theory for equilibrium tagged particle correlation functions in simple fluids is developed from molecular considerations. The mode coupling formalism developed in a previous paper [Physica A 181 (1992) 89] to describe equilibrium fluctuations in simple liquids is...

The hydrodynamic equations for a system of inelastic granular particles are derived from first principles of statistical mechanical theory by applying projection operator techniques. An effective Liouvillian operator for the granular distribution function is derived by exploiting the fact that...
