On Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in superfluids

arXiv:cond-mat/0202445 · doi:10.1134/1.1490014

Abstract

The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in superfluids is discussed, based on the first experimental observation of such instability at the interface between superfluid 3He-A and superfluid 3He-B (cond-mat/0111343). We discuss why (i) the Kelvin-Helmholtz criterion, (ii) the Landau critical velocity for nucleation of ripplons, and (iii) the free energy consideration, all give different values for the instability treshold.
