Abstract
We have performed numerical calculations of the structure of the single-quantum vortex in superfluid He-A. The GPU-accelerated large-scale numerical simulation is performed in the Ginzburg-Landau model and resolves length scales of both coherence-length-sized hard core and dipolar-length-sized soft core of the vortex. The calculations support previously suggested qualitative structure of the vortex, recently named as eccentric fractional skyrmion, and provide numerical values for the vortex energy, sizes and locations of the hard and soft cores and highly-asymmetric flow profile of the vortex.
