Abstrak

The Langevin equations (LE) and the Fokker−Planck (FP) equations are widely used to describe fluid behavior based on coarse-grained approximations of microstructure evolution. In this manuscript, we describe the relation between LE and FP as related to particle motion within a fluid. The manuscript introduces undergraduate students to two LEs, their corresponding FP equations, and their solutions and physical interpretation.
