Meshfree method for fluctuating hydrodynamics. (English) Zbl 1252.76025

Summary: In the current study a meshfree Lagrangian particle method for the Landau-Lifshitz Navier-Stokes (LLNS) equations is developed. The LLNS equations incorporate thermal fluctuation into macroscopic hydrodynamics by the addition of white noise fluxes whose magnitudes are set by a fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The study focuses on capturing the correct variance and correlations computed at equilibrium flows, which are compared with available theoretical values. Moreover, a numerical test for the random walk of standing shock wave has been considered for capturing the shock location.
