Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© TU Delft. We numerically solve the three–dimensional, time–dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation to model a superfluid flowing over a realistic rough boundary. Our model for the boundary is based on the atom–force microscope image of a NbTi vibrating wire used to generate turbulence in actual experiments. We find that near the boundary a dense region of quantum vortices is created, which forms a kind of ‘superfluid boundary layer’.
