Using the lid-driven microcavity as an illustrative example, the interplay between kinetics and hydrodynamics is quantitatively visualized. The validity of various theories of non-equilibrium thermodynamics of flowing systems is tested in this nontrivial microflow.10 pages, 6 figuresStatistical Mechanicstext
