An algorithm to generate anisotropic rotating fluids with vanishing viscosity

Abstract

Starting with generic stationary axially symmetric spacetimes depending on two spacelike isotropic orthogonal coordinates $x^1,x^2$, we build anisotropic fluids with and without heat flow but with wanishing viscosity. In the first part of the paper, after applying the transformation $x^1\to J(x^1)$, $x^2\to F(x^2)$(with $J(x^1),F(x^2)$ regular functions) to general metrics coefficients $g_{ab}(x^1,x^2)\to g_{ab}(J(x^1),F(x^2))$ with $G_{x^1{x}^2}=0$, being $G_{ab}$ the Einstein's tensor, we obtain that ${\tilde{G}}_{x^1{x}^2}=0\to G_{x^1{x}^2}(J(x^1),F(x^2))=0$. Therefore, the transformed spacetime is endowed with an energy-momentum tensor $T_{ab}$ with expression $g_{ab}{Q}_i+heatterm$ (where $g_{ab}$ is the metric and $\{Q_i\},i=\mathrm{1..4}$ are functions depending on the physical parameters of the fluid), i.e. without viscosity and generally with a non-vanishing heat flow. We show that after introducing suitable coordinates, we can obtain interior solutions that can be matched to the Kerr one on spheroids or Cassinian ovals, providing the necessary mathematical machinery. In the second part of the paper we study the equation involving the heat flow and thus we generate anisotropic solutions with vanishing heat flow. In this frame, a class of asymptotically flat solutions with vanishing heat flow and viscosity can be obtained. Finally, some explicit solutions are presented with possible applications to a string with anisotropic source and a dark energy-like equation of state.
