Abstract
Linking thermodynamic variables like temperature and the measure of chaos, the Lyapunov exponents , is a question of fundamental importance in many-body systems. By using nonlinear fluid equations in one and three dimensions, we show that in thermalized flows , in agreement with results from frustrated spin systems. This suggests an underlying universality and provides evidence for recent conjectures on the thermal scaling of . We also reconcile seemingly disparate effects—equilibration on one hand and pushing systems out of equilibrium on the other—of many-body chaos by relating to through the dynamical structures of the flow.
