A statistical mechanical approach of self-organization of a quantised vortex gas in a two-dimensional superfluid

In this work the relaxation of a two-dimensional Bose-gas from a non-equilibrium initial condition consisting of vortices is studied. To focus on the role of the vortex excitations on the time evolution of the system, a point vortex model is used. The relaxation of the vortex gas is seen to lead to...
