A monofluid flow mathematical model of liquid helium (Q1342168)

The work aims at a single-fluid description of the macroscopic behaviour of helium II. A single-fluid model of helium II is formulated using the extended thermodynamics of a non-ideal fluid in the absence of dissipation. The model includes, according to experimental data, the propagation of the two sounds typical of superfluid helium, a relationship between the stress deviator and the square of heat flux, and an explanation of the fountain effect.
