Acceleration statistics in thermally driven superfluid turbulence.
New methods of flow visualization near absolute zero have opened the way to directly compare quantum turbulence (in superfluid helium) to classical turbulence (in ordinary fluids such as air or water) and explore analogies and differences. We present results of numerical simulations in which we examine the statistics of the superfluid acceleration in thermal counterflow. We find that, unlike th...
متن کاملVortex dynamics in rotating counterflow and plane Couette and Poiseuille turbulence in superfluid Helium
An equation previously proposed to describe the evolution of vortex line density in rotating counterflow turbulent tangles in superfluid helium is generalized to incorporate nonvanishing barycentric velocity and velocity gradients. Our generalization is compared with an analogous approach proposed by Lipniacki, and with experimental results by Swanson et al. in rotating counterflow, and it is u...
متن کاملDetection and imaging of He2 molecules in superfluid helium.
We present data that show a cycling transition can be used to detect and image metastable He2 triplet molecules in superfluid helium. We demonstrate that limitations on the cycling efficiency due to the vibrational structure of the molecule can be mitigated by the use of repumping lasers. Images of the molecules obtained using the method are also shown. This technique gives rise to a new kind o...

Using frozen hydrogen particles to observe rotating and quantized flows in liquid helium Gregory P. Bewley 2006 We present a novel technique for tracing liquid helium flows, and use this technique to make observations of fluid dynamics in both the normal fluid and the superfluid phases of liquid helium. To visualize fluid motions, we create a suspension of frozen hydrogen particles with diamete...
متن کاملTrace detection of metastable helium molecules in superfluid helium by laser-induced fluorescence.
We describe an approach to detecting ionizing radiation that combines the special properties of superfluid helium with the sensitivity of quantum optics techniques. Ionization in liquid helium results in the copious production of metastable He2 molecules, which can be detected by laser-induced fluorescence. Each molecule can be probed many times using a cycling transition, resulting in the dete...
