Quantized Vortices in Helium II, Volume 2

Front Cover
Cambridge University Press, Mar 7, 1991 - Mathematics - 346 pages
This book discusses the properties of quantized vortex lines in superfluid helium-4 in the light of research on vortices in modern fluid mechanics, and gives the first comprehensive treatment of the problem. The author's comprehensive approach will make this book invaluable for students taking advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, and for all those involved in research on classical and quantum vortices.
