Abstract

We consider properties of the trajectory with the zero momentum inside a spherically symmetric black hole. We work mostly in the Painlev\'{e}% -Gullstrand frame and use the concept of the "river model of black hole". This consept allows us to decompose (in a "cosmological manner") the geodesic motion of a test particle into a "flow" of the frame and a peculiar motion with respect to this frame. After this decomposition the application of standard formulae of special relativity for kinematic processes becomes possible. The present paper expands the notion of peculiar velocities to the region under the horzion and exploits it for the description of two physical processess - high energy collisions and redshift. Using this approach we (i) present a novel description of particle collisions occuring near black hole horizons inside the event horizon. In particular, we show that the trajectory under discussion is relevant for ultra-high energy collisions. (ii) In the framework of the river model, we derive a simple formula (both outside and inside the horizon) for the redshift in the case of radial motion. It represents the product of two factors. One of them is responsible for pure gravitational part whereas the other one gives the Doppler shift due to peculiar motion with respect to the "flow".
