Gravitational decoupling and aerodynamics: black holes and analog gravity in a jet propulsion lab
Abstract
A connection is established between transonic sound waves propagating along a de Laval nozzle and quasinormal modes emitted from hairy black holes obtained with the gravitational decoupling method applied to the Reissner-Nordstr\"om geometry. Aerodynamical features provide an analogue setup to experimentally test fluid flow perturbations in a de Laval nozzle producing quasinormal modes. In particular, nozzle shape, pressure, Mach number, temperature, density, and thrust coefficient profiles are determined as functions of the black hole parameters for several multipole numbers. The black hole quasinormal mode frequencies are also investigated for different overtones, evaluating the quality factor of the nozzle.
