Extending Lagrangian perturbation theory to a fluid with velocity dispersion

Abstract

We formulate a perturbative approximation to gravitational instability, based on Lagrangian hydrodynamics in Newtonian cosmology. We take account of `pressure' effect of fluid, which is kinematically caused by velocity dispersion, to aim hydrodynamical description beyond shell crossing. Master equations in the Lagrangian description are derived and solved perturbatively up to second order. Then, as an illustration, power spectra of density fluctuations are computed in a one-dimensional model from the Lagrangian approximations and Eulerian linear perturbation theory for comparison. We find that the results by the Lagrangian approximations are different from those by the Eulerian one in weakly non-linear regime at the scales smaller than the Jeans length. We also show the validity of the perturbative Lagrangian approximations by consulting difference between the first-order and the second-order approximations.
