Abstract: The reformulation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, to include the treatment of thermodynamic fluctuations, is applied to the hydrodynamic fluctuations of a simple fluid. It is shown that the nonequilibrium thermodynamic scheme leads to the explicit form of the Fokker–Planck equation which describes the time behaviour of the probability distribution function of these hydrodynamic fluctuations as well as the irreversible processes which are connected with this behaviour.
