Exploring Vortex Dynamics in the Presence of Dissipation: Analytical and Numerical Results

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we systematically examine the stability and dynamics of vortices under the effect of a phenomenological dissipation used as a simplified model for the inclusion of the effect of finite temperatures in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. An advantage of this simplified model is that it enables an analytical prediction that can be compared directly (and favorably) to numerical results. We then extend considerations to a case of considerable recent experimental interest, namely that of a vortex dipole and observe good agreement between theory and numerical computations in both the stability properties (eigenvalues of the vortex dipole stationary states) and the dynamical evolution of such configurations.
