Abstract

We discuss the (2+1)(2+1)-dimensional parity violating charged fluid on a finite cutoff surface Σc\Sigma_c, dual to the nondynamical and dynamical Chern-Simons (CS) modified gravities. Using nonrelativistic long-wavelength expansion method, the field equations are solved up to O(ϵ2)\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^2) in the nondynamical model. It is shown that there exists nonvortical dual fluid with shear viscosity η\eta and Hall viscosity ηA\eta_A on the cutoff surface Σc\Sigma_c. The ratio of shear viscosity over entropy density η/s\eta/s of the fluid takes the universal value 1/4π1/{4\pi}, while the ratio of Hall viscosity over entropy density ηA/s\eta_A/s depends on the Σc\Sigma_c and black brane charge qq. Moreover the nonvortical dual fluid obeys the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equation. However, these kinematic viscosities ν\nu and νA\nu_A related to η\eta and ηA\eta_A do not appear in this MHD equation, due to the constraint condition ~2βj=0\tilde{\partial}^2\beta_j=0 for the (2+1)(2+1)-dimensional dual fluid. Then, we extend our discussion to the dynamical CS modified gravity and show that the dual vortical fluid possesses another so-called Curl viscosity ζA\zeta_A, whose ratio to entropy density ζA/s\zeta_A/s also depends on the Σc\Sigma_c and qq. Moreover, the value of η/s\eta/s still equals to 1/4π1/4\pi and the result of ηA/s\eta_A/s agrees to the previous result under the probe limit of the pseudo scalar field at the infinite boundary in the charged black brane background for the dynamical CS modified gravity. This vortical dual fluid corresponds to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence equation in plasma physics.
