| Research Abstract |
In this project, I have studied the nonlocal mesoscopic nature of anomalous hydrodynamic transport and its relation to the collective dynamics in supercooled liquids. In a series of studies, by directly analyzing the wavenumber-dependent hydrodynamic transport coefficient, I revealed evidence for the nonlocal mesoscopic nature and the scaling properties of hydrodynamic transport. Based on the simulation results, I constructed dynamic scaling theory for anomalous hydrodynamic transport, which can explain anomalous hydrodynamic transport in terms of the collective diffusion of a correlated structure.
