Two-fluid hydrodynamics of cold atomic bosons under the influence of quantum fluctuations at non-zero temperatures

Ultracold Bose atoms is the physical system existing at the small finite temperatures, where the quantum and nonlinear phenomena play crucial role. Bosons are considered to be composed of two different fluids: the Bose-Einstein condensate and the normal fluid (the thermal component). The extended hydrodynamic models are obtained for each fluids, where the pressure evolution equations and the pressure flux third rank tensor evolution equations are obtained along with the continuity and Euler equations. It is found that the pressure evolution equation contains zero contribution of the short-range interaction. The pressure flux evolution equation contains the interaction which simplifies to the quantum fluctuations in the zero temperature limit. The structure of the third rank tensor describing this interaction is obtained in the regime of small temperature and weak interaction. The model is derived via the straightforward calculation of evolution of macroscopic functions using the microscopic many-particle Schrodinger equation in the coordinate representation. Finally, the two-fluid hydrodynamics is constructed in form of four equations for each fluid in order to give model describing the quantum fluctuations in BEC and the thermal effects in the normal fluid.
