Nambu Dynamics and Hydrodynamics of Granular Material


الملخص بالإنكليزية

On the basis of the intimate relation between Nambu dynamics and the hydrodynamics, the hydrodynamics on a non-commutative space (obtained by the quantization of space), proposed by Nambu in his last work, is formulated as ``hydrodynamics of granular material. In Part 1, the quantization of space is done by Moyal product, and the hydrodynamic simulation is performed for the so obtained two dimensional fluid, which flows inside a canal with an obstacle. The obtained results differ between two cases in which the size of a fluid particle is zero and finite. The difference seems to come from the behavior of vortices generated by an obstacle. In Part 2 of quantization, considering vortex as a string, two models are examined; one is the ``hybrid model in which vortices interact with each other by exchanging Kalb-Ramond fields (a generalization of stream functions), and the other is the more general ``string field theory in which Kalb-Ramond field is one of the excitation mode of string oscillations. In the string field theory, Altarelli-Parisi type evolution equation is introduced. It is expected to describe the response of distribution function of vortex inside a turbulence, when the energy scale is changed. The behaviour of viscosity differs in the string theory, being compared with the particle theory, so that Landau theory of fluid to introduce viscosity may be modified. In conclusion, the hydrodynamics and the string theory are almost identical theories. It should be noted, however, that the string theory to reproduce a given hydrodynamics is not a usual string theory.
