Moving downward to the molecular level, a number of lines of research flowed from Onsager s seminal work on the reciprocal relations. The symmetry rule was extended to cases of mixed parity by Casimir [24], and to nonlinear transport by Grabert et al. [25] Onsager, in his second paper [10], expressed the linear transport coefficient as an equilibrium average of the product of the present and future macrostates. Nowadays, this is called a time correlation function, and the expression is called Green-Kubo theory [26-30]. 

In general, the scalar Taylor microscale will be a function of the Schmidt number. However, for fully developed turbulent flows,18 l.,p L and /, Sc 1/2Xg. Thus, a model for non-equilibrium scalar mixing could be formulated in terms of a dynamic model for Xassociated with working in terms of the scalar spatial correlation function, a simpler approach is to work with the scalar energy spectrum defined next. 

Owing to the sensitivity of the chemical source term to the shape of the composition PDF, the application of the second approach to model molecular mixing models in Section 6.6, a successful model for desirable properties. In addition, the Lagrangian correlation functions for each pair of scalars (( (fO fe) ) should agree with available DNS data.130 Some of these requirements (e.g., desirable property (ii)) require models that control the shape of /, and for these reasons the development of stochastic differential equations for micromixing is particularly difficult. 

The focus of this chapter is exploration of the ability of mixed quantum classical approaches to capture the effects of interference and coherence in the approximate dynamics used in these different mixed quantum classical methods. As outlined below, the expectation values of computed observables are fundamentally non-equilibrium properties that are not expressible as equilibrium time correlation functions. Thus, the chapter explores the relationship between the approximations to the quantum dynamics made in these different approaches that attempt to capture quantum coherence. 

The NMR frequencies at two times separated by the time tm, and thus the corresponding orientations [cf. Eq. (15)] are correlated via cosine functions. The correlation function CSin(fm tp), where the cosine functions are replaced by sine functions, may also be accessible modifying pulse lengths and pulse phases in an appropriate way. This is possible for both CSA and Q interactions. Rotational jumps of the molecules during the mixing time tm lead to 0)>(0) / tm), and hence to a decay of CCOSjSin(fm tp). Therefore, these correlation functions provide access to the details of the molecular reorientation dynamics.
