Abstract:We consider acoustic propagation of phonons in the presence of a non-rotating vortex with radial flow in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of photons. Since the vortex can be used to simulate a static acoustic black hole, the phonon would experience a considerable spacetime curvature at appreciable distance from the vortex core. The trajectory of the phonons is bended after passing by the vortex, which can be used as a simulation of gravitational lensing for phonons in a photonic BEC.I.
