Physics Club: Alberto Nicolis, Columbia University, “A generalized Archimedean principle and the mass of sound”

Event time:

Location:

Event description: 

I will describe how, in principle, one can generalize the Archimedean principle to general “objects” immersed in fluids, including for example quantum particles or localized perturbations of the fluids themselves. As an application, I will present a general formula for the mass transported by a sound wave.
