Summary

The Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy (h(KS)) scales with the self-diffusion coefficient (D) via a power law in simple fluids. This relationship holds across densities from liquid to near solidification, offering insights into fluid dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Understanding the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of simple fluids is crucial.
  • The relationship between microscopic dynamics and macroscopic properties like entropy is a key area of research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the quantitative relationship between Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy (h(KS)) and the self-diffusion coefficient (D).
  • To explore this relationship in classical simple fluid systems with purely repulsive potentials.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations were employed to obtain data for h(KS) and D.
  • The data were analyzed for systems with Wayne-Chandler-Anderson and hard-sphere potentials.
  • Normalization was performed using the average collision frequency (nu) and particle diameter (sigma).

Main Results:

  • A power-law dependency was observed between h(KS)/nu and D/(sigma^2*nu).
  • This relationship, h(KS)/nu ∝ (D/(sigma^2*nu))^η, was found to be consistent across a wide density range (0.50 ≤ ρ ≤ 0.93).
  • The exponent η was found to be independent of density and temperature.

Conclusions:

  • Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and self-diffusion coefficient exhibit a universal power-law relationship in simple repulsive fluids.
  • This finding provides a new perspective on the dynamics and statistical properties of dense fluids.
  • The established relationship can aid in predicting fluid behavior near solidification.
