Gradient dynamics and entropy production maximization (1610.05499v2)
Published 18 Oct 2016 in physics.flu-dyn, math-ph, math.MP, and physics.chem-ph
Abstract: Gradient dynamics describes irreversible evolution by means of a dissipation potential, which leads to several advantageous features like Maxwell--Onsager relations, distinguishing between thermodynamic forces and fluxes or geometrical interpretation of the dynamics. Entropy production maximization is a powerful tool for predicting constitutive relations in engineering. In this paper, both approaches are compared and their shortcomings and advantages are discussed.
