“What is an Acoustic Black Hole?”

Interest and Difficulty in Black Hole Physics

Black holes are the most fascinating objects in GR.

Hawking radiation (quantum)

: thermal emission from BHs

Numerous quantum / classical phenomena have been

predicted. For example,

Quasinormal Ringing (classical)

: characteristic oscillation of BHs

However, many of them are difficult to observe.

To examine them, an alternative way is nessesary!

3. Application I:

Classical Analogue of Hawking Radiation

Thermal emission from BHs.

Quantum phenomenon; derived from QFT in curved ST.( mixing of positive & negative freq. modes)

: “surface gravity”

Properties of Hawking Radiation

Too weak to observe in the case of astrophysical BHs!

How can we study Hawking Radiation?

Hawking radiation of phonon in airflow: impossible!!

(possible for BEC transonic flow ? [Garay et al., 2000] )

Nevertheless, some classical phenomena in acoustic BHs

will shed light on quantum aspects of Hawking radiation.

Observation in a Laboratory

Signal is buried in noise.

However, output of LIA implies that redshift occurs.

Classical Counterpart of HR: Discussion

Recently, full order calculation has been performed.

Furuhashi, Nambu and Saida, CQG 23, 5417 (2006)

Their results agree with our calculation.

Planckian distr. seems to be robust.

Does the thermal emission of phonon really occur

in quantum fluids (BEC / superfluid) ?

How about the effect of high frequency dispersion?

3. Application II:

Quasinormal Ringing

Okuzumi & Sakagami

“Quasionormal Ringing of Acoustic Black Holes in Laval Nozzles”

in preparation

Quasinormal Ringing

“Characteristic ‘sound’ of BHs (and NSs)”

Arises when the geometry around a BH is perturbed

and settles down into its stationary state.

e.g. after BH formation / test particle infall

Described as a superposition of a countably infinite number

of damped sinusoids (QuasiNormal Modes, QNMs).

QNM frequencies contain the information on (M,J) of BHs.

Numerical Simulation of Acoustic QN Ringing

We perform two types of simulations:

“Acoustic BH Formation”

initial state: no flow

set sufficiently large pressure difference

final state: transonic flow

“Weak Shock Infall”

initial state: transonic flow

‘shoot’ a weak shock into the flow

final state: transonic flow

Numerical Simulation: Summary

In both types of simulations, QNMs are actually excited.

The results agree with WKB analysis well ( for K >1 ).

cf. Schwarzschild, l = 2 , least-damped mode

Typical values in laboratories:

similar to values for astrophysical BHs

Numerical Simulation: Discussion

For future experiments, larger Q-value is wanted.However, Q is at most ~ 2 for planar wave modes.

Can matched filtering be used in our experiments ?

Summary

wawe eq. for a massless scalar field in curved ST

Results of numerical simulations strongly suggest

that classical counterpart of HR and QN ringing

can be realized in a laboratory.

Standard Procedure for Calculating QNM Freq’s

Then, impose the outgoing B.C. ,

For t <15, an “ordinary” QNM (not PRQNM) dominates,

since the potential barrier is not yet “aware”

of the contact surface.
