Summary
We show by numerical and analytical solution of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (TDGLE) that vortex nucleation in superfluid 3He-B 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 dynamics of vortex annihilation and the generalization to the case of complex relaxation rate in the TDGLE are considered.
