Lattice Models for Fluctuating Hydrodynamics in Granular and Active Matter

This book investigates the common nature of granular and active systems, which is rooted in their intrinsic out-of-equilibrium behavior, with the aim of finding minimal models able to reproduce and predict the complex collective behavior observed in experiments and simulations. Granular and active matter are among the most studied systems in out-of-equilibrium statistical physics.

The book guides readers through the derivation of a fluctuating hydrodynamic description of granular and activ...
