We have used the thermodynamical description of a chemical reaction as a diffusion process along an internal coordinate to analyze fluctuations in the density of the constituents, which are treated under the framework of fluctuating hydrodynamics. We then obtain a Langevin equation for the...

Interfacial immiscible fluid systems with hydrodynamic spin are studied within the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The energy and entropy densities and the momentum, internal angular momentum and heat currents are allowed to be singular at the interface. Balance equations in the...

A method of induced forces and torques is employed to study brownian motion of a particle in a fluid with internal angular momentum (spin). One derives generalized Faxén theorems for the force and torque exerted on the particle. In the Landau-Lifshitz approach, one obtains...

The dynamic structure factor of a suspension moving through a fluid with spin (suspension of dipolar particles in the continuum limit) is computed. Two situations are treated, namely when the system is in equilibrium and when a velocity gradient is present. In the first case we get a correction...

A scheme introduced recently for the description of non-linear hydrodynamic fluctuations of a one-component fluid is extended to the case of a two-component charged fluid. The random fluxes which are introduced are assumed to be Gaussian processes with white noise. It is found that the usual...

We show the existence of intermittent dynamics in one of the simplest model of a glassy system: the two-state model, which has been used [Physica A 329 (2003) 357] to explain the origin of the violation of the fluctuation–dissipation theorem. The dynamics is analyzed through a Langevin...

We have analyzed the implications of the energy of anisotropy of a ferromagnetic sphere suspended in a carrier fluid in its dynamics. The rotational viscosity, which for a particular geometry represents the increase of the viscosity of the system due to the presence of an external magnetic...

Diffusion of transported particles in the intracellular medium is described by means of a generalized diffusion equation containing forces due to the cytoskeleton network and to the protein motors. We find that the enhanced diffusion observed in experiments depends on the nature of the force...

We study the dynamics of an axisymmetric particle suspended in a fluid. The approach we use is based on the induced forces method. We then obtain formal expressions for the friction tensors from which one derives explicit formulas for the friction coefficients depending on the shape of the...

Having characterized the macroscopic behavior of a ferrofluid, giving expressions for the viscosities, as well as for the average of its magnetization, we analyze the dynamics of a non-magnetic particle (magnetic hole) suspended in a ferrofluid. Although the particles are not magnetic, when they...
