Abstract
In this chapter, we will focus on the statistical properties of a fluid from a macroscopic perspective. To this end, we will discuss the properties of the linearized version of the NSF equations of hydrodynamics and will introduce the correlation function formalism, which allows us to characterize the spectrum of fluctuations of the hydrodynamic variables.
