Abstract

A local fluctuation theorem for natural systems is proposed and verified for natural systems. Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics computer simulation is used to verify the steady state integrated local fluctuation theorem for planar Poiseuille flow of a fluid between thermostated walls. Thus, it is shown that systems evolving under Newtonian mechanics, but in contact with a thermal reservoir obey a local version of fluctuation theorem.
