Thermodynamics for non-equilibrium pattern formation
The second entropy theory for non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used to show that the optimum structure or pattern of a time-dependent system corresponds to the maximum entropy. A formula for the total entropy of convective heat flow is derived. The Navier-Stokes equations in Boussinesq approximatio...
