X Abstract

In correspondence to the two different descriptions of hydrodynamic motion by Euler and by Lagrange, there are two natural ways of defining phonons and the corresponding classical sound waves. Eulerian phonons turn out to have a momentum nk (k = wave vector), whereas Lagrangian phonons carry no momentum. This might suggest that the two definitions lead to different physical effects. That this is not the case is shown in detailed discussions of two examples: the sound pressure and the derivation of two-fluid equations.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
