The influence of He-3 nuclear magnetization relaxation on the second viscosity in quantum solutions subjected to an external oscillating magnetic field is studied. The cases of first-, second- and forth-sound waves are examined. The expressions for the second viscosity coefficients are derived and the conditions for the viscosity to be decreased are analyzed.

In classical turbulence the kinematic viscosity $ν$ is involved in two phenomena. The first is the energy dissipation and the second is the mechanical momentum flux toward the wall. In superfluid turbulence the mechanism of energy dissipation is different, and it is determined by an effective viscosity which was introduced by Vinen and is denoted as $ν'$. In this paper we show that in superfluid turbulence the transfer of mechanical momentum to the wall is caused by the presence of a quantum vortex tangle, giving rise to another effective "momentum" viscosity that we will denote as $ν_\text{m}…
The $p$-wave superfluid state is a promising spin-triplet and non $s$-wave pairing state in an ultracold Fermi gas. In this work we study the low-temperature shear viscosity of a one-component $p$-wave superfluid Fermi gas, by means of Kubo formalism. Our study is done in the strong-coupling limit where Fermi superfluid reduces into a system of composite bosons. Taking into account ${{p}_{x}}$-wave Cooper channel in the self-energy, the viscous relaxation rates are determined. The relaxation rates related to these interactions are calculated as a function of temperature. Their temperature depe…
The energy dissipation of quasiclassical homogeneous turbulence in superfluid $^4$He (He II) is controlled by an effective kinematic viscosity $ν'$, which relates the energy decay rate $dE/dt$ to the density of quantized vortex lines $L$ as $dE/dt=-{ν'}(κL)^2$. The precise value of $ν'$ is of fundamental importance in developing our understanding of the dissipation mechanism in He II, and it is also needed in many high Reynolds number turbulence experiments and model testing that use He II as the working fluid. However, a reliable determination of $ν'$ requires the measurements of both $E(t)$ …
We compute the shear viscosity of a superfluid atomic Fermi gas in the unitarity limit. The unitarity limit is characterized by a divergent scattering length between the atoms, and it has been argued that this will result in a very small viscosity. We show that in the low temperature T limit the shear viscosity scales as xi^5/T^5, where the universal parameter 'xi' relates the chemical potential and the Fermi energy, mu=xi E_F. Combined with the high temperature expansions of the viscosity our results suggest that the viscosity has a minimum near the critical temperature T_c. A naive extrapola…
Generation of a quasi-stationary flow of the superfluid helium normal part in the presence of intense first- and second-sound waves is studied. Relevant equations are obtained. The contribution to the process of energy dissipation at the shock front layer and of fluid viscosity is analysed in detail for the case of a second-sound wave. An estimate concerning possible experimental observation of the process is made.
Coherent precession of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates of magnons is a sensitive probe for magnetic relaxation processes in superfluid 3He-B down to the lowest achievable temperatures. We use the dependence of the relaxation rate on the density of thermal quasiparticles to implement thermometry in 3He-B at temperatures below 300 $μ$K. Unlike popular vibrating wire or quartz tuning fork based thermometers, magnon condensates allow for contactless temperature measurement and make possible an independent in situ determination of the residual zero-temperature relaxation provided by the radiation…
Systematic observations of the magnetically generated fountain pressure in the superfluid $^3$He A$_1$ have been carried out in a newly built apparatus designed to reduce the effect of thermal gradients. In the same apparatus, mechanical pumping and filtering of polarized nuclear spins were realized by the pneumatic pumping action of an electrostatically actuated membrane. In both experiments, the measured induced pressure was observed to decay at all temperatures where the A$_1$ phase appeared in magnetic fields up to 13 T and liquid pressures between 1 and 29 bar. The inferred spin relaxatio…
By injecting negative ions in superfluid 4He in the zero-temperature limit (T < 0.5 K), we generated tangles of quantized vortex line with negligible large-scale flow. For this quantum regime of superfluid turbulence, the vortex line length L was found to decay at late time t as L proportional to t^{-1}; the prefactor being independent of the initial value of L. The corresponding effective kinematic viscosity is 0.1 kappa, where kappa is the circulation quantum. At T > 0.7 K, a jet of ions generates quasi-classical tangles identical to those produced by mechanical means.
The spin-polarized superfluid $^3$He A$_1$ phase, which forms below 3 mK in external magnetic field, serves as a material in which theoretical notions of fundamental magnetic processes and macroscopic quantum spin phenomena may be tested. Conventionally, the superfluid component of the A$_1$ phase is understood to contain only the majority spin condensate having energetically-favoured paired spins directed along the external field and no minority spin condensate having paired spins in the opposite direction. We have developed a novel mechanical spin density detector to measure the spin relaxat…
We describe measurements of the decay of pure superfluid turbulence in superfluid 3He-B, in the low temperature regime where the normal fluid density is negligible. We follow the decay of the turbulence generated by a vibrating grid as detected by vibrating wire resonators. Despite the absence of any classical normal fluid dissipation processes, the decay is consistent with turbulence having the classical Kolmogorov energy spectrum and is remarkably similar to that measured in superfluid 4He at relatively high temperatures. Further, our results strongly suggest that the decay is governed by th…
We study the ground-state properties and nonequilibrium dynamics of hard-core bosons confined in one-dimensional lattices in the presence of an additional periodic potential (superlattice) and a harmonic trap. The dynamics is analyzed after a sudden switch-on or switch-off of the superlattice potential, which can bring the system into insulating or superfluid phases, respectively. A collapse and revival of the zero-momentum peak can be seen in the first case. We study in detail the relaxation of these integrable systems towards equilibrium. We show how after relaxation time averages of physica…
In this work we study the influence of orbital viscosity on the dynamics of the order parameter texture in the superfluid B-phase of $^3$He near a moving bounda ry. Based on the redistribution of thermal quasiparticles within the texture, we develop a model which bestows a significant effective mass on the interface, an d gives a new mechanism for friction as the boundary moves. We have tested the model against existing data of a moving A-B interface whose motion was controlled using magnetic field. The model allows some predictions in experimental situations which involve texture rearrangemen…
We compute the coefficients of bulk viscosity for a non-relativistic superfluid corresponding to a fermionic system close to the unitarity limit. We consider the low temperature regime assuming that the transport properties of the system are dominated by phonons. To compute the coefficients of bulk viscosity we use kinetic theory in the relaxation time approximation and the low energy effective field theory of the corresponding system. We show that the three independent bulk viscosity coefficients, $ζ_1, ζ_2, ζ_3$, associated with irreversible flows vanish for phonons with a linear dispersion …
Reynolds similitude, a key concept in hydrodynamics, states that two phenomena of different length scales with a similar geometry are physically identical. Flow properties are universally determined in a unified way in terms of the Reynolds number ${\cal R}$ (dimensionless, ratio of inertial to viscous forces in incompressible fluids). For example, the drag coefficient $c_D$ of objects with similar shapes moving in fluids is expressed by a universal function of ${\cal R}$. Certain studies introduced similar dimensionless numbers, that is, the superfluid Reynolds number ${\cal R}_s$, to charact…
Based on our current understanding of statistics of quantum turbulence as well as on results of intensive ongoing analytical, numerical and experimental studies we overview here the following problems in the large-scale, space-homogeneous, steady-state turbulence of superfluid $^4$He and $^3$He: 1) Energy spectra of normal and superfluid velocity components; 2) Cross-correlation function of normal and superfluid velocities; 3) Energy dissipation by mutual friction and viscosity; 4) Energy exchange between normal and superfluid components; 5) High-order statistics and intermittency effects. The…
In superfluid $^3$He-B externally pumped quantized spin-wave excitations or magnons spontaneously form a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 3-dimensional trap created with the order-parameter texture and a shallow minimum in the polarizing field. The condensation is manifested by coherent precession of the magnetization with a common frequency in a large volume. The trap shape is controlled by the profile of the applied magnetic field and by the condensate itself via the spin-orbit interaction. The trapping potential can be experimentally determined with the spectroscopy of the magnon levels in the…
