Dissipation in hydrodynamics from micro- to macroscale: wisdom from Boltzmann and stochastic thermodynamics

We show that macroscopic irreversible thermodynamics for viscous fluids can be derived from exact information-theoretic thermodynamic identities valid at the microscale. Entropy production, in particular, is a measure of the loss of many-particle correlations in the same way in which it measures the...
