Superfluid vortex formation at rough boundaries

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Low Temp. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6032346
It is shown that roughness of a superfluid boundary lowers the surface energy barrier, which prevents the detachment of quantized vortices from the boundary under the action of the Magnus force exerted by the external flow past the roughness.
