Flow instabilities due to torsional oscillators in superfluid helium
 Skokánková, Tamara ; Schmoranzer, David (advisor) ; Urban, Pavel (referee)
This Thesis is devoted to the investigation of superfluid helium flows due to torsional oscillators. In its first part, flow due to a torsionally oscillating disc suspended on a tungsten filament is studied (building upon the work of A. C. Hollis Hallett from 1952). Measurements of the motion of the torsionally oscillating disc were performed in superfluid helium at temperatures between 1.265 K and 2.157 K at saturated vapour pressure. Time traces of the disc angular deflection were obtained, and critical parameters related to the turbulent flow stability were determined. In laminar flow, scaling of drag forces with the dimensionless Donnelly number was verified. Based on these results, and comparison with the original work, a scenario of the decay of turbulent flow was suggested. The second part of this work is focused on the development and construction of a similar experiment for mK temperatures. A new type of oscillator was designed, a so-called "pillbox", and a series of testing measurements was performed both at room and mK temperatures.

Low frequency oscillatory flow of cryogenic helium
 Skokánková, Tamara ; Schmoranzer, David (advisor) ; Babuin, Simone (referee)
This work is based on the experiment that was carried out by R. J. Donnelly and A. C. Hollis Hallett in 1958. Measurements were carried out with a torsionally oscillating disc in superfluid helium over a temperature range of 1.37 to 2.16 K at saturated vapor pressure. We were able to measure time dependences of the angular velocity of the disc and to determine critical values of the angular velocity amplitude. The obtained temperature dependences also show that the measured nonlinear forces originate from the superfluid component. Based on these measurements, a model describing the mechanisms of the transition to turbulence in a flow due to a torsionally oscillating disc is proposed. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
