Free surface lump wave dynamics of a saturated superfluid Helium film with nontrivial boundary condition at the substrate surface

Abstract

In this article, the free surface wave dynamics of a saturated superfluid Helium film is considered under the condition that there exists a very weak downward localized superfluid flow into the substrate. For saturated film, the effect of surface tension plays a decisive role in the surface wave evolution dynamics of the system. The free surface evolution is shown to be governed by forced Kadomtsev Petviashvili-I equation, with the forcing function depending on downward superfluid velocity at the substrate surface. Exact as well as perturbative free surface lump wave solutions of the (2+1) dimensional nonlinear evolution equation are obtained and the effect of the leakage velocity function on the lump wave solutions are shown.
