Wave Propagation And Landau-Type Damping In Liquids    [PDF]

Vincenzo Molinari, Domiziano Mostacci
Intermolecular forces are modeled by means of a modified Lennard-Jones
potential, introducing a distance of minimum approach, and the effect of
intermolecular interactions is accounted for with a self consistent field of
the Vlasov type. A Vlasov equation is then written and used to investigate the
propagation of perturbations in a liquid. A dispersion relation is obtained and
an effect of damping, analogous to what is known in plasmas as "Landau
damping", is found to take place.
