In the case of planar Poiseuille flow, we find that the transient form, valid for all times, converges to the steady-state predictions on microscopic time scales. Further, we find that the time of convergence for the two theorems coincides with the time required for satisfaction of the asymptotic steady-state fluctuation theorem.Keywords: Computer simulation; Dynamical systems; Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics19992015-12-12
