Suppose I am given a system that consists of a distribution of charged particles(which are all over space and are point-charges). They are described by a set of functions instead of variables. These functions are:
- C(x) - a function describing the amount of charge at each point in space. For example, take the one dimensional example of C(x)=sin(x).
- M(x) - a function describing the amount of mass at each point in space.
- V(x) - the function describing what the sum of all the velocities of the particles at a point is.
Given these are the functions to describe the system at time t=0, is it possible to predict the state of this system (the charge distribution, velocities and mass distributions) at a later time, say, t=2, using Newtonian dynamics?
My system can be thought of as a fluid, where distribution of mass and charge vary. I ignore charges if that simplifies things. I want to take into account gravity, though, at least. How do I exactly proceed to find the distribution functions at t=2?
