Casimir repulsion in moving media
arXiv:1105.0639 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.84.022506
Abstract
Casimir-Lifshitz interaction emerging from relative movement of layers in stratified dielectric media (e.g., non-uniformly moving fluids) is considered. It is shown that such movement may result in a repulsive Casimir-Lifshitz force exerted on the layers, with the simplest possible structure consisting of three adjacent layers of the same dielectric medium, where the middle one is stationary and the other two are sliding along a direction parallel to the interfaces of the layers.
