Vortices and Turbulence at Very Low Temperatures

Download or read book Vortices and Turbulence at Very Low Temperatures written by Carlo Barenghi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-25 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent investigations have highlighted the similarities between turbulence in cryogenic fluids at temperatures close to absolute zero, in particular superfluid helium, and turbulence in ordinary fluids. This book contains lectures on various theoretical and experimental aspects of the problem given by experts at the advanced school “Vortices and Turbulence at Low Temperatures” held at CISM, Udine, in the summer of 2007. The lectures provide an introduction into this rapidly expanding area of research. The book is suitable to PhD students and young researchers starting their career as well as established researchers in either low temperature physics or fluid mechanics who are interested in this problem.
