The acoustic sound dispersion of nitrogen in its liquid and supercritical phases has been studied by Inelastic X-Ray Scattering. Approaching supercritical conditions, the gradual disappearance of the positive sound dispersion, characteristic of the low temperature liquid, is observed. In the supercritical state, evidence for a crossover between adiabatic and isothermal sound propagation regimes is inferred by an analysis of the dynamic structure factor based on generalized hydrodynamics.

We comment on three incorrect claims in the paper by Fomin et al (arXiv:1507.06094) concerning the generalized hydrodynamic methodology and positive sound dispersion in fluids.
We report a molecular dynamics simulation study of the sound waves in vitreous silica in the mesoscopic exchanged momentum range. The calculated dynamical structure factors are in quantitative agreement with recent experimental inelastic neutron and x-ray scattering data. The analysis of the longitudinal and transverse current spectra allows to discriminate between opposite interpretations of the existing experimental data in favour of the propagating nature of the high frequency sound waves.
The adiabatic elastic modulus is often useful in the high frequency response of materials. Unfortunately, it can be much more difficult to directly measure the adiabatic elastic modulus of material than the isothermal elastic modulus. We derive the relationship between the adiabatic and isothermal elastic tensors from the first law of thermodynamics.
The high frequency dynamics of fluid oxygen have been investigated by Inelastic X-ray Scattering. In spite of the markedly supercritical conditions ($Tapprox 2 T_c$, $P>10^2 P_c$), the sound velocity exceeds the hydrodynamic value of about 20%, a feature which is the fingerprint of liquid-like dynamics. The comparison of the present results with literature data obtained in several fluids allow us to identify the extrapolation of the liquid vapor-coexistence line in the ($P/P_c$, $T/T_c$) plane as the relevant edge between liquid- and gas-like dynamics. More interestingly, this extrapolation is very close to the non metal-metal transition in hot dense fluids, at pressure and temperature values as obtained by shock wave experiments. This result points to the existence of a connection between structural modifications and transport properties in dense fluids.
Three classes of harmonic disorder systems (Lennard-Jones like glasses, percolators above threshold, and spring disordered lattices) have been numerically investigated in order to clarify the effect of different types of disorder on the mechanism of high frequency sound attenuation. We introduce the concept of frustration in structural glasses as a measure of the internal stress, and find a strong correlation between the degree of frustration and the exponent alpha that characterizes the momentum dependence of the sound attenuation $Gamma(Q)$$simeq$$Q^alpha$. In particular, alpha decreases from about d+1 in low-frustration systems (where d is the spectral dimension), to about 2 for high frustration systems like the realistic glasses examined.
