Abstract

We consider the hydrodynamical model of topological Dirac semi-metal possessing two Dirac nodes separated in momentum space along a rotation axis. It has been argued that the system in question, except the chiral anomaly, is endowed with the other one Z2\mathbb{Z}_2. In order to model such a system we introduce two U(1)U(1)-gauge fields. The presence of the additional Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 anomaly leads to the non-trivial modifications of hydrodynamical equations and to the appearance of new kinetic coefficients bounded with the vorticity and the magnetic parts of Maxwell and auxiliary U(1)U(1)-gauge fields.
