Quantized vortex reconnection: Fixed points and initial conditions
DOI:10.1103/PhysRevB.86.014509.png)
Abstract
En 中文
Quantized vortices are phase singularities in complex fields. In superfluids, they appear as mobile interacting defects that may cross and reconnect by exchanging tails. Reconnection is a topology-changing event that allows vortex tangles to decay; it is a defining signature of quantum turbulence. We report a family of fixed points (i.e., stationary solutions), including planar forms, that capture reconnection in the Gross-Pitaevskii model in contrast to previous suggestions of pyramidal structures. These are obtained using a well known, systematic method for generating low-energy relaxed initial conditions for Gross-Pitaevskii simulations.
