Visualization of Superfluid Helium Flow
Matthew S. Paoletti, Ralph B. Fiorito, Katepalli R. Sreenivasan +1
We discuss an experimental technique to visualize the motion in the bulk of superfluid He by tracking micron-sized solid hydrogen tracers. The behavior of the tracers is comple…
Velocity Statistics Distinguish Quantum Turbulence from Classical Turbulence
M. S. Paoletti, Michael E. Fisher, K. R. Sreenivasan +1
By analyzing trajectories of solid hydrogen tracers, we find that the distributions of velocity in decaying quantum turbulence in superfluid He are strongly non-Gaussian with $…
Characterization of reconnecting vortices in superfluid helium
Gregory P. Bewley, Matthew S. Paoletti, Katepalli R. Sreenivasan +1
When two vortices cross, each of them breaks into two parts and exchanges part of itself for part of the other. This process, called vortex reconnection, occurs in classical as wel…
