Thermodynamic stability of superflows in General Relativity and Newtonian gravity

Lorenzo Gavassino

Landau's criterion for superfluidity is a special case of a broader principle: A moving fluid cannot be stopped by frictional forces if its state of motion is a local minimum of th…

Perfect spinfluid: A divergence-type approach

Nick Abboud, Lorenzo Gavassino, Rajeev Singh +1

We present a new formulation of non-dissipative relativistic spin hydrodynamics that incorporates spin degrees of freedom into the divergence-type theory framework. Due to the dive…

Noncovariant parabolic theories of relativistic diffusion

Lorenzo Gavassino

A new first-order theory of relativistic dissipation has been recently proposed, where viscous effects are incorporated using the traditional Navier-Stokes framework. Its main nove…

Non-Newtonian corrections to radiative viscosity: Israel-Stewart theory as a viscosity limiter

Lorenzo Gavassino

Radiation is a universal friction-increasing agent. When two fluid layers are in relative motion, the inevitable exchange of radiation between such layers gives rise to an effectiv…

Unified Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics and the stability of relativistic theories for dissipation

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli

In a relativistic context, the main purpose of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) is to generalize the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the domain of fluid d…

Applying the Gibbs stability criterion to relativistic hydrodynamics

Lorenzo Gavassino

The stability of the equilibrium state is one of the crucial tests a hydrodynamic theory needs to pass. A widespread technique to study this property consists of searching for a Ly…
