Motivation want to have fluid equations valid for up to Strongly Coupled Systems Ordinary Hydrodynamics: valid only for : relaxation time : shear viscosity : bulk viscosity
Non-local transport coefficients i.e., wavenumber and frequency dependent transport coefficients Generalized Hydrodynamics: non-local effects : generalized shear viscosity : generalized bulk viscosity
Simple Assumption If we assume Linearized equation Fourier-Laplace transform
Under the simple assumption For example, transverse wave ka
More generally… Linearized Generalized Hydrodynamics equation in Laplace-Fourier space Fourier-Laplace transform of
goals determine the generalized shear viscosity –in general, the simple assumption mentioned in the previous page does not hold: the wavenumber dependence of τ R cannot be ignored. determine the relaxation time τ R as a function of Γ (or system temperature T) and .
Theory microscopic analysis ↔ hydrodynamics analysis Microscopic flux (current): Assumption: hydrodynamic j should behave similarly at least if. Consider Transverse Current Autocorrelation Function
current autocorrelation functions longitudinal: transverse:
current correlation functions q = q =2.48q =2.23q =1.96 q =1.75q = 1.24
Under the simple assumption For example, transverse wave ka
Transverse Current Autocorrelation Function Under Navier-Stokes Eqn: However microscopically…. Low wave number high wave number
hydrodynamic approximation (no memory) Relaxation Time Approximation(RTA) Memory Function Need to extend This equation may be viewed as the definition of Memory Function.
kinematic shear viscosity General Properties of Memory Function
Memory Function The memory function usually decays monotonically. The memory function usually decays more rapidly than the Transverse Current Autocorrelation Function (TCAF).
Assumption for Memory Function and obtain τ(k) as a function of Γ and by fitting the function to the MD simulation data.

melting temperature Einstein frequency Scaling of the relaxation time
1.Memory functions for Transverse Current Correlation Functions are calculated. 2.In the strongly coupling regime, non-exponential long time tail was observed in the memory function. 3.The relaxation time in Generalized Hydrodynamics has been estimated in the wide range of parameters. 4.The relaxation time takes the minimum value as a function of the system temperature (or Γ).
