We argue that, for the recent experiments with imbalanced fermion gases, a temperature difference may occur between the normal (N) and the gapped superfluid (SF) phase. Using the mean-field formalism, we study particle scattering off the…
The generation mechanism of wall heat flux is one of the fundamental problems in supersonic/hypersonic turbulent boundary layers. A novel heat decomposition formula under the curvilinear coordinate was proposed in this paper. The new…
The intermittency of turbulent superfluid helium is explored systematically in a steady wake flow from 1.28 K up to T>2.18K using a local anemometer. This temperature range spans relative densities of superfluid from 96% down to 0%,…
Vortices are topological defects associated with superfluids and superconductors, which, when mobile, dissipate energy destroying the dissipation-less nature of the superfluid. The nature of this "quantum dissipation" is rooted in the…
When the intensity of turbulence is increased (by increasing the Reynolds number, e.g. by reducing the viscosity of the fluid), the rate of the dissipation of kinetic energy decreases but does not tend asymptotically to zero: it levels off…
The experimental investigation of superfluid turbulence in 3He-B is generally not possible with the techniques which have been developed for 4He-II. We describe a new method by which a transient burst of turbulent vortex expansion can be…

The distribution of thermally excited vortex loops near a superfluid phase transition is calculated from a renormalized theory. The number density of loops with a given perimeter is found to change from exponential decay with increasing…
We report hot-wire measurements performed in two very different, co- and counter-rotating flows, in normal and superfluid helium at 1.6 K, 2 K, and 2.3 K. As recently reported, the power spectrum of the hot-wire signal in superfluid flows…
We theoretically study the nonlinear dynamics of the instability of counter-superflow in two miscible Bose-Einstein condensates. The condensates become unstable when the relative velocity exceeds a critical value, which is called…
We investigate the thermal counterflow of the superfluid $^4$He by numerically simulating three-dimensional fully coupled dynamics of the two fluids, namely quantized vortices and a normal fluid. We analyze the velocity fluctuations of the…
We present experimental, numerical and theoretical studies of a vortex front propagating into a region of vortex-free flow of rotating superfluid 3He-B. We show that the nature of the front changes from laminar through quasi-classical…
The quantization of vortex lines in superfluids requires the introduction of their density $\C L(\B r,t)$ in the description of quantum turbulence. The space homogeneous balance equation for $\C L(t)$, proposed by Vinen on the basis of…

Matter at low temperatures exhibits unusual properties such as superfluidity, superconductivity, Bose-Einstein condensation, and supersolidity. These states display quantum mechanical behaviours at scales much larger than atomic dimensions.…
The coupling of vortices to phonons in a superfluid is a gauge coupling dictated by topology. The density and current response to a moving vortex are computed and contrasted with the standard backflow picture. Exploiting the analogy to…
