Wave equation for sound in fluids with vorticity

Abstract: 12 We use Clebsch potentials and an action principle to derive a complete closed system of gauge-invariant equations for sound 13 superposed on a general background flow. Our system reduces to the Unruh [Phys. Rev. Lett. 46 (1981) 1351] and Pierce 14 [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 87 (1990) 2292] wave equations when the flow is irrotational, or slowly varying. We illustrate our for-15 malism by applying it to waves propagating in a uniformly rotating fluid where the sound modes hybridize with inertial waves. 16

“…A detailed understanding of this requires the knowledge of transport properties in the boundary fluid, and in particular its refraction index. It should also be noted that sonic and light propagation in moving media with vorticity is a highly non-trivial issue [28]. Our work provides the means for a holographic extension of the results of the latter reference.…”

“…It should be emphasized that the analogy between sound and electromagnetic waves discussed in this article could be compared to the similarities between sound wave and gravitational waves discussed in particular by Unruh. On this subject and some connected discussions concerning the acoustic Aharonov-Bohm effect (that is related to the optical Aharonov-Bohm effect that follows from the Fizeau effect) the reader should consult 18,19 .…”

“…In fact, as proved in Ref. [30], the analogy is still valid as long as the frequency of the sound is larger enough than the vorticity of the flow Ω = ∇ × u: ω |Ω|, but there is no requirement of the magnitude of the spatial inhomogeneity comparing with wave length.…”
