In some situations, even if the the velocity statistics can be strongly non-Gaussian, we do not observe appreciable violations of the Einstein formula for diffusion versus mobility. The situation changes when strong correlations between velocities and density are present: in this case, although a form of fluctuation-dissipation relation holds, the differential velocity response of a particle and its velocity self-correlation are no more proportional. This happens at high densities and strong inelasticities, but still in the fluid-like (and ergodic) regime.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-05-18T12:39:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "granular fluids", "einstein relation", "driven granular gases", "fluctuation-dissipation relation holds", "differential velocity response" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment", "year": 2007, "month": "Aug", "volume": 2007, "number": 8, "pages": 8016 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007JSMTE..08...16P" } } }
