The Flat Rotation Curve of the Spiral Galaxies may be the Result of the Perfect Combination of the Fluid Mechanics and the Gravitational Mechanics
2019
A new hypothesis is proposed to explain the flat rotation curve of the spiral galaxies. The spiral galaxies can be treated as ideal fluid systems. For Milky Way, the mass density is constant within the radius of 0.65 kpc in the central portion of the bugle and results the linear relationship between the rotation velocity and the distance to the galactic center. The rotation of the spiral galaxies is driven by the central galactic bars and follows both fluid mechanics and gravitational mechanics, the flat rotation curve of the spiral galaxies is the result of the perfect combination of the fluid mechanics and the gravitational mechanics, the nature has balanced itself very well, the mass density distribution indirectly extracted from NASA’s near-infrared image of the Milky Way seems matching the hypothesis. Therefore, the “dark matter” could be unnecessary for the purpose of adding additional gravitational matter, but this does not deny the possible existence of the proposed dark matter in the universe. The feature of the flat rotation curve could be established during the formation of the galaxies from vast clouds of gas and dust, then, is maintained by gravitational force among those celestial objects, gases and interstellar medium, and such gravitational force acts as a binding force and fluid viscosity. After galactic merging, the combination of the fluid mechanics and gravitational mechanics is the only way to restore the galaxies into nice symmetric disk-like morphology with flat feature of the rotation curve after enough evolution time. The super black holes in the centers of the galaxies could be the rotation engines for whole rotation of galaxies. This model may not be perfect and could be improved in the future.
