Advances in Fluctuating Hydrodynamics: Bridging the Micro and Macro Scales

Establishing universal laws in far-from-equilibrium physical systems is one of the outstanding unresolved problems in modern physics. While we have not reached a complete theory applicable to any nonequilibrium system, hydrodynamics provides a promising theoretical tool, which captures universal macroscopic behaviors of nonequilibrium many-body systems. In particular, a hydrodynamic approach with thermal fluctuation, dubbed fluctuating hydrodynamics, successfully describes normal hydrodynamic transports in three-dimensional systems as well as anomalous transports (related to the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang universality class) in low-dimensional systems.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together theorists working on both classical and quantum many-body problems and to explore nonequilibrium physics from the viewpoint of fluctuating hydrodynamics.
