It is a deceptively simple question to ask how acoustic disturbances propagate in a non--homogeneous flowing fluid. If the fluid is barotropic and inviscid, and the flow is irrotational (though it may have an arbitrary time dependence),…
The analog acoustic metric has been originally derived for adiabatic acoustic perturbations propagating in an isentropic irrotational ideal fluid. In the framework of a Lagrangian hydrodynamic description we demonstrate that under certain…

Sound wave propagation in a relativistic perfect fluid with a non-homogeneous isentropic flow is studied in terms of acoustic geometry. The sound wave equation turns out to be equivalent to the equation of motion for a massless scalar field…
We consider classical fluids in non-relativistic framework. The flow is considered to be barotropic, inviscid and rotational. We study the linear perturbations over a steady state background flow. We find the acoustic metric from the…

Acoustic perturbations in a parallel relativistic flow of an inviscid fluid are considered. The general expression for the frequency of the sound waves in a uniformly (with zero shear) moving medium is derived. It is shown that relativity…
We present an analogue spacetime model that reproduces the salient features of the most common ansatz for quantum gravity phenomenology. We do this by investigating a system of two coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. This system can be tuned…
As of now, all analogue gravity models available in the literature deal with the emergence of an acoustic geometry through linear perturbations of transonic fluids only. It has never been investigated whether the analogue gravity phenomena…
