Mesoscale model of a three-dimensional odd fluid
Abstract
Odd fluids are a class of fluids characterized by nonzero antisymmetric transport coefficient tensors induced by broken time-reversal symmetry. In our previous work, a mesoscale simulation model for two-dimensional isotropic odd fluids was developed. Here, we extend the model to the three-dimensional case that corresponds to an anisotropic odd fluid with cylindrical symmetry. Using kinetic theory, we analytically derive the viscosity tensor and Navier-Stokes equation for the three-dimensional mesoscale odd fluid, which we quantitatively verify with simulations. Furthermore, through both simulation and hydrodynamic theory, we demonstrate that the planar Poiseuille flow of the three-dimensional odd fluid exhibits exotic transport behavior. This work thus paves the way for performing large-scale simulations to explore and exploit intriguing phenomena of odd fluids.
