Hilbert's sixth problem: derivation of fluid equations via Boltzmann's kinetic theory

In this paper, we rigorously derive the fundamental PDEs of fluid mechanics, such as the compressible Euler and incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations, starting from the hard sphere particle systems undergoing elastic collisions. This resolves Hilbert's sixth problem, as it pertains to the program of deriving the fluid equations from Newton's laws by way of Boltzmann's kinetic theory. The proof relies on the derivation of Boltzmann's equation on 2D and 3D tori, which is an extension of our previous work (arXiv:2408.07818).

J'ai fait une petite simulations rigolote pour vérifier numériquement un vieux truc que j'ai trouvé dans un article de Boltzmann. Si on met une particule dans un plan avec deux ressorts qui ont des constantes de forces k1 et k2, la trajectoire est périodique si k1/k2 est un nombre rationnel: https://youtu.be/keGGbb2uiB8

Évidemment si c'est pas un nombre rationnel (genre pi), c'est pas périodique: https://youtu.be/Tty0jFWKkv8

Voilà, c'est tout pour moi.

Good grief. Boltzmann's brain in the comics.

"The authors introduce the two main theoretical approaches in SM, Boltzmannian SM and Gibbsian SM, and discuss how they conceptualise equilibrium and explain the approach to it. In doing so, the authors examine how probabilities are introduced into the theories, how they deal with irreversibility, how they understand the relation between the micro and the macro level, and how the two approaches relate to each other."
