This study derives a self-consistent equation for one-body density in interacting particle systems using Langevin inertial dynamics. It extends previous work to arbitrary dimensions, highlighting kinetic theory

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Theoretical Physics
  • Many-Body Systems

Background:

  • Interacting particle systems are fundamental in physics.
  • Langevin inertial dynamics describes particle motion with friction and noise.
  • Dynamical density functional theory (dDFT) aims to describe time-dependent behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a time-dependent equation for the one-body density of interacting particles under Langevin inertial dynamics.
  • To extend previous one-dimensional fluid studies to arbitrary dimensions.
  • To investigate the application of kinetic theory in dDFT.

Main Methods:

  • Governing time-dependent equation for one-body density derivation.
  • Truncation of the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy.
