Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the location of the Landau-Lifshitz Navier-Stokes (LLNS) equation within the Landau-Lifshitz Fluid Mechanics textbook. Participants are seeking specific page references for the equation, which includes a thermal fluctuation term added to the standard Navier-Stokes equation. The context includes inquiries about different editions of the textbook.
Discussion Character
Main Points Raised
- Some participants note the existence of the LLNS equation in the context of fluctuating hydrodynamics but express difficulty in locating it within the textbook.
- Several participants share their own struggles to find the LLNS equation, indicating a common issue among them.
- One participant suggests that the location of the equation may vary depending on the edition of the textbook, mentioning that the first edition contains a unit on fluctuations that is absent in the second edition.
- There is speculation that content may have been moved to another volume, such as volume 5 on statistical physics, but this remains uncertain.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree that locating the LLNS equation in the textbook is problematic, but there is no consensus on its exact location or whether it has been moved in different editions.
Contextual Notes
Participants reference different editions of the textbook, which may affect the availability and location of the LLNS equation. There is uncertainty regarding the movement of content between editions and volumes.
