The fluid limit is the limit in which only the part of the dynamics that is dominant for large scales and long times is retained. | The fluid limit is the limit in which only the part of the dynamics that is dominant for large scales and long times is retained, and is useful for understanding the (quasi) steady state properties of a solution. | ||
In order to proceed, it is necessary to make an assumption regarding the shape of the distributions appearing in the kernel ''K''. Invoking the Generalized Limit Theorem for the sums of random variables, | In order to proceed, it is necessary to make an assumption regarding the shape of the distributions appearing in the kernel ''K''.
