Abstract
We present the results of simulations of superfluid vortex filaments in a range of normal fluid flows, from simple laminar pipe flow to a complex three-dimensional flow with multiple vortex structures. Superfluid vorticity and velocity distributions in these simulations are formed with a close correspondence to the normal fluid vorticity and velocity. We have derived simple, general rules from these simulations that predict if a given flow will develop a superfluid velocity field that matches the normal fluid velocity.
