Abstract:
We study the dynamics of lattice systems in Zd, d⩾1. We assume that the initial data are random functions. We introduce the system of initial measures {με0,ε>0}. The measures με0 are assumed to be locally homogeneous or “slowly changing” under spatial shifts of the order o(ε−1) and inhomogeneous under shifts of the order ε−1. Moreover, correlations of the measures με0 decrease uniformly in ε at large distances. For all τ∈R∖0, r∈Rd, and κ>0, we consider distributions of a random solution at the instants t=τ/εκ at points close to [r/ε]∈Zd. Our main goal is to study the asymptotic behavior of these distributions as ε→0 and to derive the limit hydrodynamic equations of the Euler and Navier–Stokes type.
