Abstract

We recover the Navier-Stokes equation as the incompressible limit of a stochastic lattice gas in which particles are allowed to jump over a mesoscopic scale. The result holds in any dimension assuming the existence of a smooth solution of the Navier-Stokes equation in a fixed time interval. The proof does not use non-gradient methods or the multi-scale analysis due to the long range jumps.
