Flow of He II due to an Oscillating Grid in the Low Temperature Limit
Abstract
The macroscopic flow properties of pure He II are probed in the limit of zero temperature using an oscillating grid. With increasing oscillation amplitude the initially pure superflow changes abruptly: the resonant frequency decreases and the response becomes strongly nonlinear, attributable to the growth of a boundary layer of quantized vortices that increases the effective mass of the grid. On further increase of oscillation amplitude, the flow undergoes a transition to turbulence.
