Abstract

It was proved EMYa, QY that stochastic lattice gas dynamics converge to the Navier-Stokes equations in dimension d=3 in the incompressible limits. In particular, the viscosity is finite. We proved that, on the other hand, the viscosity for a two dimensional lattice gas model diverges faster than t. Our argument indicates that the correct divergence rate is ( t)1/2. This problem is closely related to the logarithmic correction of the time decay rate for the velocity auto-correlation function of a tagged particle.
