Acoustic Analogue for Quantum Field Theory with a Source term

Abstract: We propose a non-relativistic fluid analogue model for a scalar field coupled to a classical source. The generic analogue gravity model involves the phonon field which is coupled to the acoustic metric. We work in the special relativity limit of the acoustic analogue. By assuming a time dependent external potential on the fluid system, we are able to model a source term for the scalar field. Upon quantisation, phonon creation due to the source is studied.
