Can Dirac fluid in graphene be made more perfect?

Abstract

To answer this question, we discuss the properties of electronic viscosity in deformed graphene by introducing strain and velocity gradient as pseudo-magnetic and pseudo-electric fields, respectively, into the Dirac model. We found that viscosity decreases with applied strain, simultaneously leading to a rather significant increase of the Reynolds number and enabling a real possibility for manifestation of noticeable turbulent effects in strained graphene.
