A stochastic system of particles modelling the Euler equations. (English) Zbl 0682.76002
Summary: We consider a system of N spheres interacting through elastic collisions at a stochastic distance. In the limit $$N\to \infty$$, for a suitable rescaling of the interaction parameters, we prove that the one-particle distribution function converges to a local Maxwellian, whose gross density, velocity, and temperature satisfy the Euler equation.
