How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1861688 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Dynamics of Nonhomogeneous Fluids
Dynamics of Nonhomogeneous Fluids is a seminal scientific monograph by Chia-Shun Yih that develops the theoretical foundations of fluid motion in media with spatially varying density and related properties.
-
B.
Kirkwood approximation in statistical mechanics
The Kirkwood approximation in statistical mechanics is a method for approximating many-particle correlation functions by expressing higher-order correlations in terms of lower-order ones, simplifying the description of interacting particle systems.
-
C.
Langevin dynamics
Langevin dynamics is a stochastic approach to modeling the motion of particles in a fluid by combining deterministic forces with random thermal fluctuations, often used to simulate Brownian motion and other nonequilibrium processes.
-
D.
The Principles of Statistical Mechanics
The Principles of Statistical Mechanics is a classic 1938 textbook by Richard C. Tolman that systematically develops the foundations of statistical mechanics and its applications to thermodynamics and physical chemistry.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
