On the velocity autocorrelation function of a Brownian particle

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Memory effect of Brownian motion in an incompressible fluid is studied. The reasoning is based on the Mori-Zwanzig formalism and a new formulation of the Langevin force as a result of collisions between an effective and the Brownian particles. Thus, the stochastic force autocorrelation function with finite dispersion and the corresponding Brownian particle velocity autocorrelation function are obtained.
