These notes are an introduction to fluctuating hydrodynamics (FHD) and the formulation of numerical schemes for the resulting stochastic partial differential equations (PDEs). Fluctuating hydrodynamics was originally introduced by Landau and Lifshitz as a way to put thermal fluctuations into a continuum framework by including a stochastic forcing to each dissipative transport process (e.g., heat flux). While FHD has been useful in modeling transport and fluid dynamics at the mesoscopic scale, theoretical calculations have been feasible only with simplifying assumptions. As such there is great interest in numerical schemes for Computational Fluctuating Hydrodynamics (CFHD). There are a variety of algorithms (e.g., spectral, finite element, lattice Boltzmann) but in this introduction we focus on finite volume schemes. Accompanying these notes is a demonstration program in Python available on GitHub (https://github.com/AlejGarcia/IntroFHD).

  1. Effective field theories of nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics in one dimension

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    The paper builds effective field theories of one-dimensional hydrodynamics from a master potential that enforces thermodynamic symmetry, and numerically solves a non-Gaussian two-mode model showing superdiffusion.

  2. Symmetry-based nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics in one dimension

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Symmetry and conservation laws alone yield nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics equations whose sound and heat modes both flow to a KPZ fixed point with dynamical exponent 3/2, confirmed by simulations matching the Pra...

  3. Thermodynamically Consistent Incorporation of the Langmuir Adsorption Model into Compressible Fluctuating Hydrodynamics

    physics.chem-ph 2025-10 accept novelty 7.0

    A thermodynamically consistent mass–energy update for coupling Langmuir adsorption with compressible fluctuating hydrodynamics is derived and validated, including a 1/2 k_B T per-molecule correction.

  4. Quantitative analysis of fluctuating hydrodynamics in uniform shear flow

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    Lutsko-Dufty correlation formulas are confirmed by linearized DNS; the FNS one-loop viscosity formula matches nonlinear DNS up to Δη/η0≈3, but only with a fitted UV cutoff.

  5. Quantitative analysis of fluctuating hydrodynamics in uniform shear flow

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Direct numerical simulations confirm that the Lutsko-Dufty theory for nonequilibrium long-range correlations holds quantitatively across viscous to shear-dominated regimes, and the one-loop Forster-Nelson-Stephen reno...
