    Notes: We consider the problem of the thermal excitation of vortex waves on quantized vortex lines and rings. We discover that this problem, which has been largely neglected in the past, apparently presents a "free energy catastrophe'' above about 1.85 K; that is, if one naively proceeds to compute the thermally induced vortex waves on rings or lines, the entropy of the waves becomes so large that the free energy of vortices is driven negative, and superfluidity could not exist. Various mechanisms for eliminating this problem are considered; it appears to be necessary to consider the relevant system to be the vortex plus the bath in order to avoid double counting of states. We comment on the relevance of this calculation to the problem of thermally induced nucleation of vortices.

    Notes: Abstract Turbulence in helium II takes the form of a disordered tangle of quantised vortex line. The existing equation of vortex dynamics used by Schwarz and others to model the evolution of the vortex tangle does not distinguish between the large scale normal fluid velocity and the local variation of the normal fluid velocity introduced by the presence of quantised vortex lines. We derive a new vortex dynamics equation which allows the local normal fluid velocity to be determined by a modified Navier–Stokes equation. Together, the two equations form a self-consistent model to determine the coupled evolution of the normal fluid and quantised vortices.

    Notes: Abstract We present an analysis of recent data on friction and drag on quantized vortices in helium II. From these data, we deduce values of the phenomenological and microscopic coefficients of friction on vortex lines and rings over a wide range of temperatures at the saturated vapor pressure. We demonstrate that the microscopic parameters are unusually sensitive to the input data. We include brief discussions of the vortex core parameter, and present the results of precision fits of a number of thermodynamic and transport properties of He II which are used in mutual friction calculations.

    Notes: A survey has been made of the more recent experimental measurements of the viscosity, density, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of liquid 4He from the λ region up to 4.2 K. Cubic spline fits to these data are provided using a mean squares approach. The fits are used to plot the temperature dependence of the kinematic viscosity, the thermal diffusivity, and the Prandtl number.
