Subdiffusive dynamics and hydrodynamic fluctuations: how the latter affect the former

The characteristics of subdiffusion are influenced by hydrodynamic fluctuations, not the scaling of the mean square displacement (MSD) at the long time limit, but rather the transition of this property from ballistic behaviour at early times to its final scaling at large times. Additionally, since a significant portion of the normalised velocity autocorrelation function(NVAF), a widely used motion descriptor, no longer adequately describes the antipersistent character that is typical of a subdiffusive motion, it is also impacted by these fluctuations. The combined findings can lead to misleading conclusions if hydrodynamic fluctuations are not taken into account. Diffusing and vorticity time scales are crucial for the way the motion turns into the final subdiffusion dynamics, whose exponent is determined by the scaling of the friction.
