Since its discovery in 1938, superfluidity has been the subject of much investigation because it provides a unique example of a macroscopic manifestation of quantum mechanics. About 60 years later, scientists successfully observed this…
In a 1959 paper by Pitaevskii, a macroscopic model of superfluidity was derived from first principles, to describe the interacting dynamics between the superfluid and normal fluid phases of Helium-4. The model couples two of the most…
A thermodynamic analysis of weakly nonlocal non-relativistic fluids is presented under the assumption that an additional scalar field also contributes to the dynamics. The most general evolution of this field and the constitutive relations…
Superfluidity---the suppression of scattering in a quantum fluid at velocities below a critical value---is one of the most striking manifestations of the collective behaviour typical of Bose-Einstein condensates. This phenomenon, akin to…

Superfluidity is an emergent quantum phenomenon which arises due to strong interactions between elementary excitations in liquid helium. These excitations have been probed with great success using techniques such as neutron and light…
In this paper, we consider the following minimizing problem with two constraints: \[ \inf \left\{ E(u) | u=(u_1,u_2), \ \| u_1 \|_{L^2}^2 = \alpha_1, \ \| u_2 \|_{L^2}^2 = \alpha_2 \right\}, \] where $\alpha_1,\alpha_2 > 0$ and $E(u)$ is…
