Two-fluid hydrodynamics for a trapped weakly interacting Bose gas

Abstract: We derive the coupled equations of motion for the condensate (superfluid) and non-condensate (normal fluid) degrees of freedom in a trapped Bose gas at finite temperatures. Our results are based on the Hartree-Fock-Popov approximation for the time-dependent condensate wavefunction and an assumption of local equilibrium for the non-condensate atoms. In the case of a uniform weakly-interacting gas, our formalism gives a microscopic derivation of the well-known two-fluid equations of Landau. The collective modes … Show more

“…Particularly motivated by the desire to explain the properties of Bose-condensed gases at finite temperature, a number of extensions have been proposed. These include generalizations [58,59,60,61,62,63,64] of linear response theory [65,66], stochastic interpretations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation [67,68,69,70,71], Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approaches [72,73,74,75,76,77,78], a variety of kinetic theories [79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90], and a cumulant-based formalism [21,91,92,93].…”

“…These equations govern in a self-consistent way the dynamics of the condensate, the thermal cloud and the anomalous average. Our time dependent HartreeFock-Bogoliubov (TDHFB) equations generalize in a natural way many of the famous approximations found in the literature such as the Bogoliubov, the Gross-Pitaevskii [67,68], the Popov [69], the Beliaev [70], the Bogoliubov-de Gennes [36] ZNG equations [22] and others.…”

“…There are, of course alternative approaches to the general issue of combining kinetic theory and quantum mechanics, which have different emphases. For example Stoof [21] has chosen to develop an approach which avoids the use of the pseudopotential method, which he has shown will fail very near the critical point; Walser et al [22] have developed a kinetic approach somewaht more related to ours; while Zaremba et al [23] have developed a two fluid hydrodynamic description. The major criterion for choosing a particular approach will ultimately be the degree of usefulness in explaining experiments, and its ease of use-but we will leave this judgment on this to the BEC community.…”
