Description
Jaynes statistical mechanics [1] is a generalization of statistical mechanics for thermal systems based on the ideas of Boltzmann. Jaynes bases his approach on the Shannon interpretation of entropy as a measure of what is known about the system at hand. By optimizing the entropy while taking into account the knowledge one has as constraints, such as conserved quantities, it is possible to determine the probability distribution of states for the system.
We implement the Jaynes approach to statistical mechanics for immiscible two-phase flow in porous media under steady state conditions. We determine the probability distribution for the fluid configurations from which macroscopic averages and fluctuations may be found.
