Quantum vortex driven Kelvin wave in the thermal background of superfluid helium

Abstract

We present numerical evidence that Kelvin waves (KWs) on quantized vortices in superfluid helium can be directly observed in the normal fluid component at finite temperatures. Using the Fully cOUpled loCAl model of sUperfLuid Turbulence (FOUCAULT) model, we analyze the propagation and temperature dependence of KWs by simultaneously measuring the dispersion of waves on the vortex displacement and the normal fluid velocity. The results demonstrate that the normal fluid supports a coherent KW-like response, with a dispersion relation matching that of the vortex filament (VF). Unlike the Schwarz model where there is almost no temperature dependence, in FOUCAULT KWs frequency and damping both depend on temperature, highlighting the role of mutual friction in mediating the coupling between the two fluids. These findings open a pathway for experimental observation of KWs in the normal phase using tracer based visualization.
