Abstract

We study a stochastic particle system on the lattice whose particles move freely according to a simple exclusion process and change velocities during collisions preserving energy and momentum. In the hydrodynamic limit, under diffusive space-time scaling, the local velocity field u satisfies the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation, while the temperature field θ solves the heat equation with drift u. The results are also extended to include a suitably resealed external force.
