HYDRODYNAMICS OF HE-3-A WITH ARBITRARY TEXTURES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The general condition that determines the equilibrium textures of superfluid He3-A incorporating the interdependence of V(s), li, and ilj, is derived. This condition is used to generalize Graham's hydrodynamics to allow for arbitrary equilibrium textures and steady-state flow. A new procedure is introduced to ensure that angular momentum is locally conserved; it is found to imply various relations between certain reaction coefficients. 1977 The American Physical Society.
