Theory of rotational Brownian motion

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The correlation function for the angular velocity of a Brownian particle suspended in a liquid is analyzed with an account of the viscous aftereffect. The main term in the asymptotic exression for this function is equal to the eddy correlation function for the translational velocity of a liquid found from the Navier-Stokes equations.
