Simulation of Acoustic Black Hole in a Laval Nozzle

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

A numerical simulation of fluid flows in a Laval nozzle is performed to observe formations of acoustic black holes and the classical counterpart to Hawking radiation under a realistic setting of the laboratory experiment. We determined the Hawking temperature of the acoustic black hole from obtained numerical data. Some noteworthy points in analyzing the experimental data are clarified through our numerical simulation.
