Hydrodynamic modes of H↓

Abstract

The normal modes of a nonuniform distribution of H\ensuremath{\downarrow} atoms are studied in the hydrodynamic regime. Explicit results for the eigenfrequencies, phase velocities, etc., are obtained under special conditions. The two-fluid equations for a uniform H\ensuremath{\downarrow} system are then analyzed to show that below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature there are two modes involving strongly coupled pressure and temperature oscillations.

Two-fluid hydrodynamics for a trapped weakly interacting Bose gas

E. Zaremba, Adam Griffin, Tetsuro Nikuni

We derive coupled equations of motion for the condensate (superfluid) and noncondensate (normal fluid) degrees of freedom in a trapped Bose gas at finite temperatures. Our results are based on the Hartree-Fock-Popov approximation for the time-dependent condensate wave function, and thermodynamic local equilibrium for the noncondensate atoms. In the special case of a uniform weakly interacting gas, our hydrodynamic equations are shown to be consistent with the two-fluid equations of Landau. The collective modes in a parabolically trapped Bose gas include the analog of the out-of-phase second-sound mode in superfluid ${}^{4}\mathrm{He}$.

Hydrodynamic modes and pulse propagation in a cylindrical Bose gas above the Bose-Einstein transition

Tetsuro Nikuni, Adam Griffin

We study hydrodynamic oscillations of a cylindrical Bose gas above the Bose-Einstein transition temperature using the hydrodynamic equations derived by Griffin, Wu, and Stringari. This extends recent studies of a cylindrical Bose-condensed gas at $T=0.$ Explicit normal mode solutions are obtained for non-propagating solutions. In the classical limit, the sound velocity is shown to be the same as a uniform classical gas. We use a variational formulation of the hydrodynamic equations to discuss the propagating modes in the degenerate Bose-gas limit and show there is little difference from the classical results. We discuss the propagation of sound pulses above and below ${T}_{\mathrm{BEC}}.$

Two-fluid hydrodynamics of a Bose gas including damping from normal fluid transport coefficients

Tetsuro Nikuni, Adam Griffin, E. Zaremba

We extend our recent work on the two-fluid hydrodynamics of the condensate and non-condensate in a trapped Bose gas by including the dissipation associated with viscosity and thermal conduction. For purposes of illustration, we consider the hydrodynamic modes in the case of a uniform Bose gas. A finite thermal conductivity and shear viscosity give rise to a damping of the first and second sound modes in addition to that found previously due to the lack of diffusive equilibrium between the condensate and non-condensate. The relaxational mode associated with this equilibration process is strongly coupled to thermal fluctuations and reduces to the usual thermal diffusion mode above the Bose-Einstein transition. In contrast to the standard Landau two-fluid hydrodynamics, we predict a damped mode centered at zero frequency, in addition to the usual second sound doublet.

Two-fluid hydrodynamics of a Bose gas including damping from normal fluid transport coefficients

We extend our recent work on the two-fluid hydrodynamics of the condensate and noncondensate in a trapped Bose gas by including the dissipation associated with viscosity and thermal conduction in the thermal cloud. For purposes of illustration, we consider the hydrodynamic modes in the case of a uniform Bose gas. A finite thermal conductivity and shear viscosity give rise to a damping of the first and second sound modes, in addition to the damping found previously due to the lack of diffusive equilibrium between the condensate and noncondensate.

General theory of damping of hydrodynamic modes

Allan Griffin, Tetsuro Nikuni, E. Zaremba

In Chapter 17, we derived the Landau–Khalatnikov two-fluid hydrodynamics which describes the collision-dominated region of a trapped Bose condensate interacting with a thermal cloud. In this chapter, we use these equations to discuss the damping of the hydrodynamic collective modes in a trapped Bose gas at finite temperatures. We derive variational expressions based on these equations for both the frequency and the damping of collective modes. This extends the analysis in Chapter 16 in which a variational approach was developed to calculate the hydrodynamic two-fluid oscillation frequencies in the non-dissipative limit. A novel feature of our treatment is the introduction of frequency-dependent transport coefficients, which produce a natural cutoff eliminating the collisionless region in the low-density tail of the thermal cloud. Our expression for the damping in trapped superfluid Bose gases is a natural generalization of the approach used by Landau and Lifshitz (1959) for uniform classical fluids. This chapter is mainly based on Nikuni and Griffin (2004). In Chapters 15 and 17, we derived a closed set of two-fluid hydrodynamic equations for a trapped Bose-condensed gas starting from the simplified microscopic model describing the coupled dynamics of the condensate and noncondensate atoms given in Chapter 3. These hydrodynamic two-fluid equations include dissipative terms associated with the shear viscosity, the thermal conductivity and the four second viscosity coefficients. Explicit formulas for these transport coefficients were derived in Section 18.1. Our goal in this chapter is to find a general expression for the damping of the two-fluid modes in terms of these transport coefficients. We emphasize that the damping of hydrodynamic two-fluid oscillations is completely different in nature from the Landau and Beliaev damping of oscillations in the collisionless region which is treated in Chapters 12 and 13.

Two-fluid hydrodynamics of cold atomic bosons under the influence of quantum fluctuations at non-zero temperatures

Pavel A. Andreev

Abstract Ultracold Bose atoms is the physical system existing at the small finite temperatures, where the quantum and nonlinear phenomena play crucial role. Bosons are considered to be composed of two different fluids: the Bose–Einstein condensate and the normal fluid (the thermal component). The extended hydrodynamic models are obtained for each fluids, where the pressure evolution equations and the pressure flux third rank tensor evolution equations are obtained along with the continuity and Euler equations. It is found that the pressure evolution equation contains zero contribution of the short-range interaction. The pressure flux evolution equation contains the interaction which simplifies to the quantum fluctuations in the zero temperature limit. The structure of the third rank tensor describing this interaction is obtained in the regime of small temperature and weak interaction. The model is derived via the straightforward calculation of evolution of macroscopic functions using the microscopic many-particle Schrodinger equation in the coordinate representation. Finally, the two-fluid hydrodynamics is constructed in form of four equations for each fluid in order to give model describing the quantum fluctuations in BEC and the thermal effects in the normal fluid.
