Dissipative motion of vortices in spatially inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

A dissipative model of vortex motion within a two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation is studied. With the asymptotic coordination method of solutions, a system of ordinary first-order differential equations describing vortex motion in rotating Bose-Einstein condensate was derived. The model takes into account the effect of various external factors: magnetic trap frequencies, number of particles in the condensate, angular rotational velocity of the condensate, dissipation parameter, etc. In special cases of dissipation-free motion, the results are coordinated with the known results of other authors. The addition of dissipation generalizes the known equations and makes it possible to see the vortex motion to the equilibrium points and to define the equilibrium configurations of any number of vortices. The model is illustrated by a large number of examples.
