We experimentally characterize the fluctuations of the nonhomogeneous nonisotropic turbulence in an axisymmetric von Kármán flow. We show that these fluctuations satisfy relations, issued from the Euler equation, which are analogous to classical fluctuation-dissipation relations in statistical mechanics. We use these relations to estimate statistical temperatures of turbulence.

We derive the algorithms for the dynamics of the standard dissipative particle dynamics model (DPD) for a velocity-dependent friction coefficient. By introducing simple estimators of the local rate of strain we propose an interparticle friction coefficient that decreases for high deformation rates, eventually leading to the macroscopic shear-thinning behaviour. We have derived the appropriate fluctuation-dissipation theorems that include the correction of the spurious behaviour due to the coupling of the non-linear friction and the fluctuations.

We derive generalized Langevin equations (GLEs) for single beads in linear elastic networks. In particular, the derivations of the GLEs are conducted without employing normal modes, resulting in two distinct representations in terms of resistance and mobility kernels. The fluctuation-dissipation relations are also confirmed for both GLEs.

Molecular dynamics simulations of a small redox-active protein plastocyanin address two questions. (i) Do protein electrostatics equilibrate to the Gibbsian ensemble? (ii) Do the electrostatic potential and electric field inside proteins follow the Gaussian distribution? The statistics of electrostatic potential and electric field are probed by applying small charge and dipole perturbations to different sites within the protein. Nonergodic (non-Gibbsian) sampling is detectable through violations of exact statistical rules constraining the first and second statistical moments (fluctuation-dissipation relations) and the linear relation between free-energy surfaces of the collective coordinate representing the Hamiltonian electrostatic perturbation.

In a multivariable system, there are usually a number of relaxation times. When some of the relaxation times are shorter than others, the corresponding variables will decay to their equilibrium value faster than the others. After the fast variables have decayed, the system can be described with a smaller number of variables.
