Vortex dynamics in rotating counterflow and plane Couette and Poiseuille turbulence in superfluid Helium
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 used to evaluate the vortex density in plane Couette and Poiseuille flows of superfluid helium.

Dynamics of superfluid 4He: Two-scale approach
The paper explores the two scale approach to the incompressible dynamics of superfluid 4He. The fluid is described by a system of equations: Navier–Stokes and Euler equations for the macroscopic normal and superfluid velocity fields respectively. The two equations couple via a mutual friction force exerted on superfluid (quantum) vortices by the normal component. The magnitude of this force, ca...
متن کاملCompetition between rotation and turbulence in superfluidHe
Two types of vortex states have been much studied in superfluid He. The first is the vortex array in a rotating container. The second is the vortex tangle in turbulent flow. An experiment attempt to combine these two states by rotating a counterflow was attempted years ago. The data suggest the existence of different flow regimes separated by instabilities, but a theoretical interpretation is s...
متن کاملAlternative Vinen’s equation and its extension to rotating counterflow superfluid turbulence
Two alternative Vinen’s evolution equations for the vortex line density L in counterflow superfluid turbulence, are physically admissible and lead to analogous results in steady states. In Phys. Rev. B, 69, 094513 (2004) the most used of them was generalized to counterflow superfluid turbulence in rotating containers. Here, the analogous generalization for the alternative Vinen’s equation is pr...

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 کاملDynamics of vortices and interfaces in superfluid 3
Rapid new developments have occurred in superfluid hydrodynamics since the discovery of a host of unusual phenomena which arise from the diverse structure and dynamics of quantized vortices in He superfluids. These have been studied in rotating flow with NMR measurements which at best provide an accurate mapping of the different types of topological defects in the superfluid order parameter fie...
