Abstract

We investigate a single vortex reconnection event in superfluid helium at zero temperature, when mutual friction is absent, and at 1.9 K temperature, when mutual friction essentially changes the evolution of lines. The vortex filament method with full Biot-Savart equation is used for numerical investigation of the time dependences of the main properties of the vortex loops just after reconnection. In this paper, we present the obtained dependencies of the average curvature of the loop, Lamb momentum, angular momentum, and energy from time. The effect of mutual friction force and initial conditions on these properties is studied.
