We study how to include the inner horizon in the analog of rotating black holes using photon fluids. We find that a vortex beam carrying an improved phase can simulate the rotating BTZ black holes experimentally. In the experiment, we…
The present paper is based on a previous work (involving two of the present authors) where a generalized fluid dynamical model was proposed. The underlying symplectic structure of the Lagrangian discrete degrees of freedom obeyed a…
We present new accretion solutions of a polytropic perfect fluid onto an f(R)-gravity de Sitter-like black hole. We consider two f(R)-gravity models and obtain finite-period cyclic flows oscillating between the event and cosmological…
This paper reviews the concepts and assumptions of rigid flow in relativistic fluid mech- anics, particularly the generalisation of the classical Herglotz-Noether theorem, that are relevant to the fluid approximation of the AdS-CFT dual of…
The objective of this work is to revisit fundamental aspects of relativistic hydrodynamics, aiming at the construction of a first course in relativistic hydrodynamics and its applications to astrophysics at the level of end of undergraduate…
In this letter we point out some interpretational difficulties associated with concepts from General Relativity in a recent article which appeared in J. Fluid Mech. 731 (2013) R4 where a Lorentzian metric was defined for turbulent fluid…
The curved geometry of a spacetime manifold arises as a solution of Einstein's gravitational field equation. We show that the metric of a spherically symmetric gravitational field configuration can be viewed as an optical metric created by…
For both extremal and non-extremal spherically symmetric black holes in theories with massless scalars and vectors coupled to gravity, we derive a general form of first-order gradient flow equations, equivalent to the equations of motion.…
Quasi-stationary (i.e. parametric) transitions from rotating equilibrium configurations of fluid bodies to rotating black holes are discussed. For the idealized model of a rotating disc of dust, analytical results derived by means of the…
Using media with extremely low group velocities one can create an optical analog of a curved space-time. Leonhardt and Piwnicki have proposed that a vortex flow will act as an optical black hole. We show that although the Leonhardt -…
We search for acoustic analogues of a spherical symmetric black hole with a pointlike source. We show that the gravitational system has a dynamical counterpart in the constrained, steady motion of a fluid with a planar source. The equations…
We derive all relevant equations needed for constructing a global general relativistic model of advectively cooled, very hot, optically thin accretion disks around black holes and present solutions which describe advection dominated flows…
Wave scattering phenomena are ubiquitous in almost all Sciences, from Biology to Physics. Interestingly, it has been shown many times that different physical systems are the stage to the same processes. The discoveries of such analogies…
Based on the idea of emergent spacetime, we consider the possibility that the material underlying our spacetime is modelled by a fluid. We are particularly interested in possible connections between the geometrical properties of the…
We present stationary and axially-symmetric black hole solutions to the Einstein field equations sourced by an anisotropic fluid, describing rotating black holes embedded in astrophysical environments. We compute their physical properties,…
Quasinormal modes are a set of damped resonances that describe how an excited open system is driven back to equilibrium. In gravitational physics these modes characterise the ringdown of a perturbed black hole, e.g. following a binary black…
We analyze the steady radial accretion of matter into a nonrotating black hole. Neglecting the self-gravity of the accreting matter, we consider a rather general class of static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat background…
Exploiting a rotating Schwarzschild black hole metric, we study hydrodynamic properties of perfect fluid whirling inward toward the black holes along a conical surface. On the equatorial plane of the rotating Schwarzschild black hole, we…
Spectral and timing properties of accretion flows on a black hole depend on their density and temperature distributions, which in turn come from the underlying dynamics. Thus, an accurate description of the flow which includes hydrodynamics…
The images of supermassive black holes surrounded by optically-thin, radiatively-inefficient accretion flows, like those observed with the Event Horizon Telescope, are characterized by a bright ring of emission surrounding the black-hole…
