Superfluid and Quantized Vortex Superfluid and Quantized Vortex

Simple superfluids (4He; 3He-B; cold atoms) exhibit

  • Two fluid behaviour: a viscous normal component

+ an “inviscid” superfluid component.

  • Normal component disappears at the 0 K limit.

Quantization of rotational motion: ,

  • except on quantized vortex lines,

each with one quantum of circulation round a core of radius (ξ ~0.05 nm for 4He).

  • Helium under rotation Array of vortex lines

Nucleation of vortices, during cooling through the superfluid transition

  • Remnant vortex lines are still present, attached between boundaries.

The velocity of generating turbulence ( (~ 50 mm/s ~ 50 mm/s) is much lower than an intrinsic velocity of vortex nucleation ( ~30 ~30 m/s m/s ). Remanent vortices should cause the generation of turbulence !!
