Recent experiments on the hydrodynamic properties of liquid helium II, performed in the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratorium (Leiden), are discussed on the basis of the twofluid model. Staas and Taconis measured temperature and pressure gradients occurring in a narrow circular capillary in the presence of a heat current. They discovered a turbulent phenomenon, very analogous to ordinary classical turbulence. The attenuation of second sound was studied by Wiarda and the present author in its dependence on a simultaneous continuous heat current. The method employed proves to be very suitable for a study of the so-called mutual friction and of phenomena occurring in the critical velocity region. (auth)
