Non-Riemannian acoustic black hole in irrotational inhomogeneous mean flow
نویسنده
چکیده
A non-Riemannian geometrical approach to the investigation of an acoustic black hole in irrotational mean flows, based on the Lighthill vortex sound theory is given. This additional example of analog gravity based on classical fluids is used to investigate the acoustic Lorentz violation. An example is given where the contortion vector is distributed along a ring inside the fluid which can be gravitational analog of the torsion thick string spacetime defect. It is found that the linear background flow velocity approximation, acoustic Lorentz symmetry is breaking by the acoustic Cartan contortion in analogy to the spontaneous gravitational Lorentz breaking in Riemann-Cartan spacetime discovered recently by Kostelecky.

متن کاملEffective black holes from non-Riemannian vortex acoustics in ABC flows
It is shown that the existence of effective black holes in non-Riemannian vortex acoustics is not forbidden under certain constraints on acoustic torsion vector. In Arnold-BeltramiChildress (ABC) flows only the spatial part acoustic torsion vertical vanish, which allows us to consider constraints on acoustic torsion to obtain artificial non-Riemannian black hole solutions in ABC flows. An expli...
متن کاملAcoustic black holes: horizons, ergospheres and Hawking radiation
It is a deceptively simple question to ask how acoustic disturbances propagate in a non-homogeneous flowing fluid. Subject to suitable restrictions, this question can be answered by invoking the language of Lorentzian differential geometry. This paper begins with a pedagogical derivation of the following result: if the fluid is barotropic and inviscid, and the flow is irrotational (though possi...
متن کاملAcoustic Black Holes
Acoustic propagation in a moving fluid provides a conceptually clean and powerful analogy for understanding black hole physics. As a teaching tool, the analogy is useful for introducing students to both General Relativity and fluid mechanics. As a research tool, the analogy helps clarify what aspects of the physics are kinematics and what aspects are dynamics. In particular, Hawking radiation i...
متن کاملDecay Rate and Low-Energy Near-Horizon Dynamics of Acoustic Black Holes
We study the low-energy dynamics of an acoustic black hole near the sonic horizon. For the experimental test of black hole evaporation in the laboratory, the decay rate (greybody factor) of the acoustic black hole (sonic hole) can be calculated by the usual low-energy perturbation method. As a consequence, we obtain the decay rate of the sonic horizon from the absorption and the reflection coef...
