Abstract

The linear response of an isolated, homogeneous granular fluid to small spatial perturbations is studied by methods of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The long wavelength linear hydrodynamic equations are obtained, with formally exact expressions for the susceptibilities and transport coefficients. The latter are given in equivalent Einstein–Helfand and Green–Kubo forms. The context of these results and their contrast with corresponding results for normal fluids are discussed.
