Unified dark fluid with fast transition: including entropic perturbations

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a unified dark fluid model with fast transition and entropic perturbations. An effective sound speed is designated as an additional free model parameter when the entropic perturbations are included, and if the entropic perturbations are zero, the effective sound speed will decrease to the adiabatic sound speed. In order to analyze the viability of the unified model, we calculate the squared Jeans wave number with the entropic perturbations. Furthermore, by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, we perform a global fitting for the unified dark fluid model from the type Ia supernova Union 2.1, baryon acoustic oscillation and the full information of cosmic microwave background measurement given by the WMAP 7-yr data points. The constrained results favor a small effective sound speed. Compared to the $\Lambda$CDM, it is found that the cosmic observations do not favor the phenomenon of fast transition for the unified dark fluid model.
