Abstract
We investigate a micro-scale model of superfluidity derived by Pitaevskii (1959 Sov. Phys. JETP8 282–7) to describe the interacting dynamics between the superfluid and normal fluid phases of Helium-4. The model involves the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) and the Navier–Stokes equations, coupled to each other via a bidirectional nonlinear relaxation mechanism. Depending on the nature of the nonlinearity in the NLS, we prove global/almost global existence of solutions to this system in —strong in wavefunction and velocity, and weak in density.
期刊介绍:
Aimed primarily at mathematicians and physicists interested in research on nonlinear phenomena, the journal''s coverage ranges from proofs of important theorems to papers presenting ideas, conjectures and numerical or physical experiments of significant physical and mathematical interest.
Subject coverage:
The journal publishes papers on nonlinear mathematics, mathematical physics, experimental physics, theoretical physics and other areas in the sciences where nonlinear phenomena are of fundamental importance. A more detailed indication is given by the subject interests of the Editorial Board members, which are listed in every issue of the journal.
Due to the broad scope of Nonlinearity, and in order to make all papers published in the journal accessible to its wide readership, authors are required to provide sufficient introductory material in their paper. This material should contain enough detail and background information to place their research into context and to make it understandable to scientists working on nonlinear phenomena.
Nonlinearity is a journal of the Institute of Physics and the London Mathematical Society.
