Preface
The thermodynamics of flowing fluids is an active and very challenging topic in modern non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. After ten years of publication of the first edition of this book, we felt that a fully renewed, updated and enlarged edition was necessary to cover some of the progress made in these fields. A book on the thermodynamics of flowing fluids was published in 1994 by A. N. Beris and S. J. Edwards, Thermodynamics of Flowing Fluids with Internal Microstructure, Oxford University Press, New York, 1994: it was based on the Poisson bracket formalism and focused on fluids with internal microstructure. The books by D. J. Evans and G. P. Morriss, Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids (Australian National University E Press, 2007), A. Onuki, Phase Transition Dynamics (Cambridge University Press, 2002) and V. Garzó and A. Santos, Kinetic theory of gases in shear flow (Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2003) have also been useful and important contributions to a global vision of this field, the first with more emphasis on molecular dynamical simulations, the second one with special attention on critical phenomena, and the third one from the perspective of the kinetic theory of gases. The central perspective of the present book is, instead, on non-equilibrium thermodynamics beyond local equilibrium. The more macroscopic and phenomenological character of this approach allows to deal with a wider range of systems, going from ideal gases and phonon hydrodynamics to polymer solutions and melts, and to laminar and turbulent superfluids. The interest of the thermodynamics of flowing fluids is both theoretical and practical. From the theoretical point of view, the influence of the flow on the thermodynamic potentials requires the formulation of thermodynamic theor
