Abstract

The values of liquid odd-viscosity coefficients remain largely unknown, with only a single experimental measurement reported to date [Nature Physics 15 (11), 1188–1194 (2019)]. In this work, inspired by the well-known consequences of dispersion surfaces in classical liquids from the work of Lighthill, we theoretically determine the shapes of constant-phase wave crests formed around obstacles moving at constant velocity in two- and three-dimensional odd viscous liquids, which may or may not undergo rigid rotation. From this analysis, we derive parametric relations that the odd-viscosity coefficients must satisfy, providing a framework for their experimental determination.
