چکیده

Wepresentmeasurements of the dissipative turbulent drag on a vibrating grid in superfluid 4He over awide range of (low) frequencies. At high velocities, the dissipative drag is independent of frequency and is approximately the same as that measured in normal liquid 4He. We present measurements on a similar grid in superfluid 3He-B at low temperatures which shows an almost identical turbulent drag coefficient at low frequencies. However, the turbulent drag in 3He-B is substantially higher at higher frequencies. We also present measurements of the inertial drag coefficient for grid turbulence in 4He. The inertial drag coefficient is significantly reduced by turbulence in both superfluid and normal liquid 4He.

Transition to Quantum Turbulence Generated by an Oscillating Object in Superfluid 4He

The transition to turbulence in boundary flow of superfluid 4He is investigated using a vibrating wire. An object in a superfluid is usually accompanied by remanent vortices, enabling to cause turbulence by its oscillation even at very low temperature. However, remanent vortices make it difficult to investigate the transition to turbulence. Recently, we have successfully devised a condition of ...

Experiments on a high quality grid oscillating in isotopically pure superfluid 4He at very low temperatures

We have investigated a copper-mesh grid oscillating at its fundamental (0,1) Bessel mode in isotopically pure superfluid He for temperatures 10 < T < 1500mK at a pressure of P = 5 bar. The high quality factor (Q ∼ 10) of the oscillator allowed us to observe new features of its response to a periodic drive which, at the lowest T , was found to depend on the prehistory of the helium. The experime...

Experiments on the vortex dynamics in superfluid He with no normal component

We report results from ongoing experiments on the dynamics of quantized vortices in superfluid He at temperatures below 0.2 K. Charged vortex rings of micron size were used to detect the presence of vortices, to create a turbulent tangle, and to charge an array of rectilinear vortex lines. The results reveal that the ion technique has great potential for the study of vortices in He at very low ...

Turbulence of Second Sound Waves in Superfluid 4He: Effect of Low-Frequency Resonant Perturbations

We report the results of investigations of acoustic turbulence in a system of nonlinear second sound waves in a high-quality resonator filled with superfluid 4He. It was observed that subharmonics of a periodic driving force applied to the system may be generated via a parametric instability. We find that application of an additional low-frequency pumping to the turbulent system results in the ...

VISCOSITY COEFFICIENTS OF THE A-PHASE OF SUPERFLUID He AT LOW TEMPERATURES

It has been shown that the Boltzmann equation for the viscosity of the A-phase of superfluid 3He at low temperatures has the same form as for a normal Ferrni liquid. The viscosity coefficients A, B, C, D and E are derived exactly. The h , parameter plays an important role in determining the temperature dependence of the viscosity coefficients
