Lattice Boltzmann simulations of a two-dimensional Fermi gas at unitarity

arXiv:1507.05975 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.93.013618

Abstract

We present fully nonlinear dissipative fluid dynamics simulations of a trapped two-dimensional Fermi gas at unitarity using a Lattice Boltzmann algorithm. We are able to simulate non-harmonic trapping potentials, temperature-dependent viscosities as well as a discretized version of the ballistic (non-interacting) behavior. Our approach lends itself to direct comparison with experimental data, opening up the possibility of a precision determination of transport coefficients in the unitary Fermi gas. Furthermore, we predict the presence of a non-hydrodynamic component in the quadrupole mode, which should be observable experimentally.
