Abstract

We use fluctuating hydrodynamics to derive expressions for the spatial and temporal spectra of concentration fluctuations in a ternary liquid mixture in equilibrium. Our results agree with those found by other investigators who have used a procedure in which arbitrary initial values are adopted. Our method of using fluctuating hydrodynamics has the advantage that it can also be extended to deal with fluctuations in systems out of equilibrium.
