Field theoretic viewpoints on certain fluid mechanical phenomena
Sachin Shyam Phatak
In this thesis we study field theoretic viewpoints on certain fluid mechanical phenomena. In the Higgs mechanism, the weak gauge bosons acquire masses by interacting with a scalar…
The Added Mass Effect and the Higgs Mechanism
Govind S. Krishnaswami, Sachin Phatak
A rigid body accelerated through an inviscid, incompressible fluid appears to gain mass, which is encoded in an added mass tensor. Swimmers, air bubbles, submarines and airships ar…
Nonlinear dispersive regularization of inviscid gas dynamics
Govind S Krishnaswami, Sachin Phatak, Sonakshi Sachdev +1
Ideal gas dynamics can develop shock-like singularities with discontinuous density. Viscosity typically regularizes such singularities and leads to a shock structure. On the other…
Higgs Mechanism and the Added-Mass Effect
Govind S. Krishnaswami, Sachin S. Phatak
In the Higgs mechanism, mediators of the weak force acquire masses by interacting with the Higgs condensate, leading to a vector boson mass matrix. On the other hand, a rigid body…
