Thermal molecular motion causes the coarse droplet radius to fluctuate as well as drift down , so its effective equation must be an Overdamped Langevin dynamics. With , detailed balance with equilibrium density proportional to imposes the Fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The Model A fluctuation-dissipation relation gives
The factor of mobility ensures that the diffusion in and the dissipative drift have the same equilibrium Gibbs distribution.
