Abstract: | No Heading We study theoretically and numerically the dynamics of quantized vortices in superfluid helium and rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. After reviewing briefly the recent motivation, we discuss these topics with the emphasis on the research done by our group. One of the modern important problems is how superfluid turbulence relates to classical turbulence. First, we show that superfluid turbulence consisting of a vortex tangle has an energy spectrum consistent with the Kolmogorov law. Second, we discuss the vortex states that appear in a rotating channel with counterflow. In the field of atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensation, the dramatic observations of quantized vortices were made for rotating condensates. By solving numerically the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we found a whole story of the vortex lattice formation consistent with the observations.PACS numbers: 67.40.Vs, 47.32.Cc, 47.37.+q. |
