Abstract

Starting from a general hamiltonian system with superstable pairwise potential, we construct a stochastic dynamics by adding a noise term which exchanges the momenta of nearby particles. We prolve that, in the scaling limit, the time conserved quantities, energy, momenta and density, satisfy the Euler equation of conservation laws up to a fixed time t provided that the Euler equation has a smooth solution with a given initial data up to time t. The strength of the noise term is chosen to be very small (but nonvanishing) so that it disappears in the scaling limit.
