Hydrodynamics

E. Roland Dobbs

Abstract This chapter shows how the relationship between experimental results and theoretical calculations for the superfluid density, the transport properties of the superfluid, and the motion of ions within it. Many of the techniques are those previously described for the normal Fermi liquid, but the hydrodynamic theory of the superfluid is more complex than that of the Fermi liquid.

ION TRANSPORT AT INTERMEDIATE FIELDS AT LOW PRESSURE

A. F. Borghesani

Abstract At higher electric fields, the drifting ions are not in thermal equilibrium with the gas of the elementary excitations of the superfluid, and the mobility depends on the field. This chapter presents the experimental results of the ion mobility in the superfluid at higher fields and larger temperatures. The field dependence of the mobility is explained in terms of roton scattering in presence of an enhanced roton density around the charge. Emphasis is given on the discovery of the giant mobility discontinuity at which the excess energy is dissipated by ions creating quantized vortex rings. Ions are captured by them and drift together as a new, single unit called a charged vortex ring. The puzzling issue of the drift velocity discontinuities is also addressed.

THE ELEMENTARY EXCITATIONS OF THE BCS MODEL IN THE CANONICAL ENSEMBLE

G. SIERRA, J. M. ROMÁN, J. Dukelsky

We summarize previous works on the exact ground state and the elementary excitations of the exactly solvable BCS model in the canonical ensemble. The BCS model is solved by Richardson equations, and, in the large coupling limit, by Gaudin equations. The relationship between this two kinds of solutions is used to classify the excitations.
