Abstract: | We analyze the analog of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the free surface of a superfluid liquid. This instability is
induced by the relative motion of superfluid and normal components of the same liquid along the surface. The instability threshold
is found to be independent of the value of viscosity, but turns out to be lower than in the absence of dissipation. The result
is similar to that obtained for the interface between two sliding super-fluids (with different mechanisms of dissipation)
and confirmed by the first experimental observation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the interface between 3He-A and 3He-B by Blaauwgeers et al. (cond-mat/0111343). |
