Generalized hydrodynamics

Abstract

The object of generalized hydrodynamics is to extend from the macroscopic scale to the microscopic scale the domain in which ordinary hydrodynamics applies. With this extension, under well-defined conditions, we will then, among other things, be able to predict the momentum with which neutrons are scattered at various angles by the fluid; neutron scattering is one of the principal methods by which the dynamic structure of fluids is investigated experimentally.
