Abstract
We present a microscopic derivation of the hydrodynamics of a classical plasma model, and show that this undergoes a transition from a deterministic (Eulerian) to a stochastic flow, that is governed by its initial charge density and drift velocity profiles. Thus, the model exhibits a phase transition far from equilibrium.
