We consider the acoustic flow field of rotationally symmetric systems, like an annular combustor and the flow in a round duct, in absence of a mean azimuthal flow field. We focus on azimuthal instabilities, which manifest as either spinning…
The interaction of waves and flows is a challenging topic where a complete resolution has been frustrated by the essential nonlinear features in the hydrodynamic case. Even in the case of EM waves in flowing media, the results are subtle.…
Acoustic shock and acceleration waves in inhomogeneous fluids are investigated using both analytical and numerical methods. In the context of start-up signaling problems, and based on linear acoustics theory, we study the propagation of…
Non-Riemannian geometry of acoustic non-relativistic turbulent flows is irrotationally perturbed generating a acoustic geometry model with acoustic metric and acoustic Cartan contortion. The contortion term is due to nonlinearities in the…
In a moving acoustic medium, sound waves travel differently with and against the fluid flow. This well-established acoustic effect is backed by the intuition that the fluid velocity bias imparts momentum on the propagating acoustic waves,…
We study the propagation of sound waves in a three-dimensional, infinite ambient flow with weak random fluctuations of the mean particle velocity and speed of sound. We more particularly address the regime where the acoustic wavelengths are…
We explore the behaviour of barotropic and irrotational fluids with a small viscosity under the effect of first-order acoustic perturbations. We discuss, following the extant literature, the difficulties in gleaning an acoustic geometry in…
Analogue gravity models describe linear fluctuations of fluids as a massless scalar field propagating on stationary acoustic spacetimes constructed from the background flow. In this paper, we establish that this paradigm generalizes to…
We predict the development and propagation of the fluctuations in a perturbed ideally-expanded air jet. A non-propagating harmonic perturbation in the density, axial velocity, and pressure is introduced at the inflow with different…
Relativistic fluids are Lorentz invariant, and a non-relativistic limit of such fluids leads to the well-known Navier-Stokes equation. However, for fluids moving with respect to a reference system, or in critical systems with generic…
Origin of hydrodynamical instability and turbulence in the Keplerian accretion disc as well as similar laboratory shear flows, e.g. plane Couette flow, is a long standing puzzle. These flows are linearly stable. Here we explore the…
Inviscid hydrodynamics mediates forces through pressure and other, typically irrotational, external forces. Acoustically induced forces must be consistent with arising from such a pressure field. The use of "acoustic stress" is shown to…
In this paper we report on the nonresonant conversion of convectively unstable linear gravity modes into acoustic oscillation modes in shear flows. The convectively unstable linear gravity modes can excite acoustic modes with similar…
Superfluids support many different types of sound waves. We investigate the relation between the sound waves in a relativistic and a non-relativistic superfluid by using hydrodynamics to calculate the various sound speeds. Then, using a…
We study the (local) propagation of plane waves in a relativistic, non-dissipative, two-fluid system, allowing for a relative velocity in the "background" configuration. The main aim is to analyze relativistic two-stream instability. This…
The quasi-accumulation solutions of acoustic wave in a moving fluid are obtained by using the Lagrange parameter variation method to solve the differential equation that describes the interaction between the acoustic waves and the flow. The…
We study the dynamics of a nearly incompressible fluid via (classical) effective field theory. In the kinematical regime corresponding to near incompressibility (small fluid velocities and accelerations), compressional modes are, by…
Wave resonance is the fundamental mechanism of non-linear instabilities of fluid flows, and affects the long-time evolution of fluid motions and other physical problems described by non-linear differential equations. Some significant…
Relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics including hydrodynamic fluctuations is formulated by putting an emphasis on non-linearity and causality. As a consequence of causality, dissipative currents become dynamical variables and noises…
The present work addresses the analogy between the speed of sound of a viscous, barotropic, and irrotational fluid and the equation of motion for a non--massive field in a curved manifold. It will be shown that the presence of viscosity…
