Turbulent Motion and the Structure of Chaos: The New Approach to the Statistical Theory of Open Systems

From Book News, Inc.
Translated from the Russian, this monograph is devoted to the main ideas and methods of the statistical theory of open systems. The six chapters address the evolution of entropy and entropy production in open systems; transition from the reversible equations of mechanics to the irreversible equations of the statistical theory; fluctuation dissipation relations; Brownian motion; the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy as a measure of the relative degree of order in open systems; and turbulent motion and the structure of chaos.
