Conformal non-relativistic hydrodynamics from gravity

Rangamani, Mukund; Ross, Simon F.; Son, D.T.; Thompson, Ethan G.

Abstract

We show that the recently constructed holographic duals of conformal non-relativistic theories behave hydrodynamically at long distances, and construct the gravitational dual of fluid flows in a long-wavelength approximation. We compute the thermal conductivity of the holographic conformal non-relativistic fluid. The corresponding Prandtl number is equal to one.
