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’.
