Quantum turbulence and thermodynamics on a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate

In this thesis we have basically studied two aspects of BoseEinstein condensation (BEC) in trapped dilute gases: (i) superfluidity with the possible onset of quantum turbulence (QT), and (ii) nonuniformity, which suggests the definition of new variables in order to build a global thermodynamic d...
