Guidelines

The investigation of flows of superfluid helium-4 is an active and challenging research field. The work focuses on the experimental analysis of the flows generated by a relatively large cylinder moving in this unique liquid. Its main aim is to contribute to our current understanding of the fluid behaviour in the proximity of solid boundaries, which is still largely unknown.
