Inhomogeneous vortex tangles in counterflow superfluid turbulence: flow in convergent channels

We investigate the evolution equation for the average vortex length per unit volume L of superfluid turbulence in inhomogeneous flows. Inhomogeneities in line density L andincounterflowvelocity V may contribute to vortex diffusion, vortex formation and vortex destruction. We explore two different fa...
