We investigate particle creation and entanglement structure in a dispersive model with subliminal dispersion relation. Assuming the step function spatial velocity profile of the background flow, mode functions for a massless scalar field is exactly obtained by the matching method. Power spectrums of created particles are calculated for the subsonic and the transsonic flow cases. For the transsonic case, the sonic horizon exists and created particles show the Planckian distribution for low frequency region but the thermal property disappears for high frequency region near the cutoff frequency introduced by the non-linear dispersion. For the subsonic case, although the sonic horizon does not exist, the effective group velocity horizon appears due to the non-linear dispersion for high frequency region and approximate thermal property of the power spectrum arises. Relation between particle creation and entanglement between each mode is also discussed.
