Résumé

Effective field theory descriptions of surface waves on flowing fluids have tended to assume that the flow is irrotational, but this assumption is often impractical due to boundary layer friction and flow recirculation. Here we develop an effective field theory of surface waves in an incompressible, inviscid flow that includes vorticity due to shear. Our model consists of a two-layer flow: an upper layer with no vorticity and a lower layer with constant vorticity. We consider linear, long-wavelength perturbations on top of such a flow, and find that these can be described by two coupled scalar fields admitting three elementary excitations, one more than the usual two found in irrotational flows. We compute the scattering coefficients pertaining to modes falling into an analogue black hole. Our approach provides a more realistic framework for simulating gravitational wave phenomena possibly with an internal structure mimicking quantum gravity effects in laboratory settings.
