Description

The old suggestive observation that black holes often resemble lumps of fluid has recently been taken beyond the level of an analogy to a precise duality, that relates holographically a sector of anti-de Sitter gravity to fluid dynamics. We will review this correspondence and some of its applications, with an emphasis on the study of instabilities of black strings and fluid tubes.
