Dynamical equations of a superfluid in curved space-time and Cattaneo’s projection method

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

The absolute tensorial equations describing the dynamics of a superfluid in general relativity have been brought into the same form as the corresponding classical equations written in 3-vector forms. The expressions of the various forces acting on an element of a superfluid are explicitly displayed. In the Newtonian limit, these equations give the classical equations of motion of a superfluid in Galilean spacetime.
