👉 The Peterson Fluid is a theoretical model proposed to explain the behavior of superfluids, particularly helium-4 at temperatures near absolute zero. It suggests that superfluid helium exhibits a unique state of matter where it can flow without viscosity, or resistance, even through the tiniest of openings or along the walls of a container. This phenomenon, known as the "second sound," is a quantum mechanical effect where temperature waves propagate through the fluid, allowing for heat transfer without the movement of mass. The Peterson Fluid model helps bridge the gap between classical fluid dynamics and quantum mechanics, offering insights into the exotic properties of superfluids.
