The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is well-known in classical hydrodynamics, where it explains the sudden emergence of interfacial surface waves as a function of the velocity of flow parallel to the interface. It can be carried over to the inviscid two-fluid dynamics of superfluids, to study different types of interfaces and phase boundaries in quantum fluids. We report measurements on the stability of the phase boundary separating the two bulk phases of superfluid 3He in rotating flow, while the boundary is localized with the gradient of the magnetic field to a position perpendicular to the rotation axis. The results demonstrate that the classic stability condition, when modified for the superfluid environment, is obeyed down to 0.4 Tc, if a large fraction of the magnetic polarization of the B-phase is attributed to a parabolic reduction of the interfacial surface tension with increasing magnetic field.

The discovery of superfluidity in 3He in 1971, published in 1972, [1, 2] has influenced a wide range of investigations that extend well beyond fermionic superfluids, including electronic quantum ma- terials, ultra-cold gases and degenerate neutron ma
tter. Observation of thermodynamic transitions from the 3He Fermi liquid to two other liquid phases, A and B-phases, along the melting curve of liquid and solid 3He, discovered by Osheroff, Richardson, and Lee, were the very first indications of 3He superfluidity leading to their Nobel prize in 1996. This is a brief retrospective specifically focused on the AB transition.
Superfluid 3He is an unconventional neutral superfluid in a p-wave state with three different superfluid phases each identified by a unique set of characteristic broken symmetries and non- trivial topology. Despite natural immunity of 3He from defect
s and impurity of any kind, it has been found that they can be artificially introduced with high porosity silica aerogel. Furthermore, it has been shown that this modified quantum liquid becomes a superfluid with remarkably sharp thermodynamic transitions from the normal state and between its various phases. They include new superfluid phases that are stabilized by anisotropy from uniform strain imposed on the silica aerogel framework and they include new phenomena in a new class of anisotropic aerogels consisting of nematically ordered alumina strands. The study of superfluid 3He in the presence of correlated, quenched disorder from aerogel, serves as a model for understanding the effect of impurities on the symmetry and topology of unconventional superconductors.
In a rotating two-phase sample of 3He-B and magnetic-field stabilized 3He-A the large difference in mutual friction dissipation at 0.20 Tc gives rise to unusual vortex flow responses. We use noninvasive NMR techniques to monitor spin down and spin up
of the B-phase superfluid component to a sudden change in the rotation velocity. Compared to measurements at low field with no A-phase, where these responses are laminar in cylindrically symmetric flow, spin down with vortices extending across the AB interface is found to be faster, indicating enhanced dissipation from turbulence. Spin up in turn is slower, owing to rapid annihilation of remanent vortices before the rotation increase. As confirmed by both our NMR signal analysis and vortex filament calculations, these observations are explained by the additional force acting on the B-phase vortex ends at the AB interface.
We study theoretically nonlinear dynamics induced by shear-flow instability in segregated two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in terms of the Weber number, defined by extending the past theory on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in classical flui
ds. Numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations demonstrate that dynamics of pattern formation is well characterized by the Weber number $We$, clarifying the microscopic aspects unique to the quantum fluid system. For $We lesssim 1$, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability induces flutter-finger patterns of the interface and quantized vortices are generated at the tip of the fingers. The associated nonlinear dynamics exhibits a universal behavior with respect to $We$. When $We gtrsim 1$ in which the interface thickness is larger than the wavelength of the interface mode, the nonlinear dynamics is effectively initiated by the counter-superflow instability. In a strongly segregated regime and a large relative velocity, the instability causes transient zipper pattern formation instead of generating vortices due to the lack of enough circulation to form a quantized vortex per a finger. While, in a weakly segregating regime and a small relative velocity, the instability leads to sealskin pattern in the overlapping region, in which the frictional relaxation of the superflow cannot be explained only by the homogeneous counter-superflow instability. We discuss the details of the linear and nonlinear characteristics of this dynamical crossover from small to large Weber numbers, where microscopic properties of the interface become important for the large Weber number.
The Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability is studied in a non-Newtonian dusty plasma with an experimentally verified model [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 98}, 145003 (2007)] of shear flow rate dependent viscosity. The shear flow profile used here is a parabolic t
ype bounded flow. Both the shear thinning and shear thickening properties are investigated in compressible as well as incompressible limits using a linear stability analysis. Like the stabilizing effect of compressibility on the KH instability, the non-Newtonian effect in shear thickening regime could also suppress the instability but on the contrary, shear thinning property enhances it. A detailed study is reported on the role of non-Newtonian effect on KH instability with conventional dust fluid equations using standard eigenvalue analysis.
