👉 The Coleman-Fowler fluid, also known as the Coleman-Fowler-McMillan fluid, is a theoretical model used to describe the behavior of highly viscous fluids with extremely high resistance to flow, often found in astrophysical and laboratory contexts. It is characterized by a very high viscosity-to-density ratio, making it flow much more slowly than typical fluids. This fluid is particularly relevant in scenarios involving superfluids, such as helium-3 at temperatures near absolute zero, where quantum effects dominate. The Coleman-Fowler fluid exhibits unique properties, including the ability to flow without viscosity and support quantized vortices, making it a crucial concept in understanding the behavior of ultra-low viscosity fluids under extreme conditions.
