Abstract

We show that nucleation of vortex loops in superfluid 3He by rapid thermal quench in the presence of superflow is dominated by a transverse instability of the moving normal–superfluid interface. Exact expressions for the instability threshold as a function of supercurrent density and the front velocity are found. The results are verified by numerical solution of the Ginzburg–Landau equation.
