Two Dimensional Turbulence in a Massless Fluid with a Relativistic Lattice Boltzmann Model [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2101.06187


We investigate a relativistic adaptation of the Lattice Boltzmann Method that reproduces the equations of motion for a turbulent, two-dimensional, massless hydrodynamic system. The classical Lattice Boltzmann Method and its extension to relativistic fluid dynamics is described. The numeric formulation is evaluated using a zero-averaged stirring force introduced into the numerics to induce turbulence, and the flow characteristics produced are compared to properties of a classical turbulent hydrodynamic flow. The model can reasonably be expected to offer quantitative simulations of electron fluid flows in graphene or Kagome lattices.
