Fluid formulation of a generalised Schrodinger-Langevin equation

Antonio Boulhosa Nassar

Published Jun 21, 1985• 25 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The author recasts a generalised Schrodinger-Langevin equation into a set of hydro-dynamical equations and draws some analogies with a classical (plasma) fluid theory describing the motion of charged particles in a neutralised background.

Quantum fluid dynamics description of a multiterm potential nonlinear Schrodinger-Langevin equation

Antonio Boulhosa Nassar

Via quantum fluid dynamics the author presents a general method to obtain a solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger-Langevin equation with a multiterm potential for the description of interactions in non-conservative systems. The nonlinear complete set of equations forming the basis of the model are derived. The corresponding solutions are exhibited in terms of auxiliary ordinary differential equations which provide relations between the potential coefficients and other coefficients prescribing the fluid-particle behaviour.

Hamilton's principal function for the Brownian motion of a particle and the Schrödinger–Langevin equation

Mohsen Razavy

The Brownian motion of a particle coupled to a heat bath can be derived from an exactly solvable many-body system. This motion is governed by the Langevin equation in Newtonian mechanics, and by an operator equation formally identical to the Langevin equation when the system composed of the particle plus the heat bath is quantized. To get this formal similarity between the classical and the quantal equations of motion of the particle, the classical dissipative system is formulated in terms of a modified Hamilton–Jacobi equation and is then quantized using the Schrödinger method. The result is identical with the Schrödinger–Langevin equation that has been obtained by quantizing the entire system and then isolating the motion of the particle. The non-linear wave equation describing the motion of a particle subject to conservative and time-dependent forces as well as frictional forces has been applied to the problems of motion of a wave-packet, and of the scattering and trapping of heavy-ions.

Dynamic models

Akira Onuki

Slow collective motions in physical systems, particularly those near the critical point, can be best described in the framework of Langevin equations. We may set up Langevin equations when the timescales of slow and fast dynamical variables are distinctly separated. This framework originates from the classical Brownian motion and is justified microscopically via the projection operator formalism. First, in Sections 5.1–5.2, these general aspects will be discussed with a summary of the projection operator method in Appendix 5B. Second, in Section 5.3, we will examine simple Langevin equations in critical dynamics (models A, B, and C) and introduce dynamic renormalization group theory. These models have been used extensively to study fundamental problems in critical dynamics and phase ordering. Third, in Section 5.4, we will review the general linear response theory, putting emphasis on linear response to thermal disturbances. Langevin equation for a single particle Brownian motion Most readers will be aware of the zig-zag motions of a relatively large particle, calleda Brownian particle, suspended in a fluid. When its mass m 0 is much larger than those of the surrounding particles, appreciable changes of the velocity of the Brownian particle can be caused as a result of a large number of collisions with the surrounding molecules.
