摘要
We compute the coefficients of bulk viscosity for a nonrelativistic superfluid corresponding to a fermionic system close to the unitarity limit. We consider the low temperature regime assuming that the transport properties of the system are dominated by phonons. To compute the coefficients of bulk viscosity we use kinetic theory in the relaxation time approximation and the low energy effective field theory of the corresponding system. We show that the three independent bulk viscosity coefficients, zeta(1),zeta(2),zeta(3), associated with irreversible flows vanish for phonons with a linear dispersion law. Considering a phonon dispersion law with a cubic term in momentum we find that in the conformal limit zeta(1)=zeta(2)=0, while zeta(3) is nonzero. Including a conformal breaking term that arises for a large but finite s-wave scattering length, a, at the leading order in 1/a we obtain that zeta(1)proportional to 1/a and zeta(2)proportional to 1/a(2).
