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...

The equation of motion for the reduced density matrix of a system weakly coupled to a bath is obtained using projection operator techniques. The exact equation of motion reduces to a generalized master equation when the bath relaxation is faster than the relaxation of the system induced by the...

Within the context of a general mode-coupling theory previously developed for the description of equilibrium fluctuations in simple classical fluids, we derive an expression for the effective longitudinal viscosity includings couplings to currents so that certain key assumptions inherent in...

The study of generalized transport coefficients in two dimensions is continued. In this article, the thermal conductivity coefficient is examined. The Mori formalism is used and the set of variables consists of all finite multilinear products of two collective conserved variables, the energy...

A comparison has been made between the deterministic and stochastic (master equation) formulation of nonlinear chemical rate processes with multiple stationary states. We have shown, via two specific examples of chemical reaction schemes, that the master equations have quasi-stationary state...

A new viewpoint on the kinetics of Ostwald ripening is presented by studying the kinetic equation recently derived for the late stage of phase separation. It is shown that the average droplet radius grows as t13 and the number density of droplets decays as t-1. An important effect of a soft...

We investigate the dynamics of phase separations in quenched binary mixtures, such as binary alloys and polymer blends with low mobilities, at higher volume fractions. Computer simulations are performed using simple model equations in the presence of encounters of droplets. Four characteristics...

The time-convolutionless mode-coupling theory (TMCT) equation for the intermediate scattering function fα(q,t) derived recently by the present author is analyzed mathematically and numerically, where α=c stands for a collective case and α=s for a self case. All the mathematical formulations...

The experimental and the simulation results for the mean-square displacements in eight different systems (four suspensions of colloids and four molecular systems) are analyzed near their glass transitions by the mean-field theory recently proposed. The dependence of various physical quantities...
