Abstract:
Relative motion of the normal and superfluid components of helium II results in the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) at their common free surface. We found the integrability and exact growing solutions for the nonlinear stage of the development of that instability. Contrary to the usual KHI of the interface between two classical fluids, the dynamics of a helium II free surface allows reduction to the Laplace growth equation, which has an infinite number of exact solutions, including the generic formation of sharp cusps at the free surface in a finite time.

The positive direction of the t-axis aligns with the increasing position of the car along the curved path, denoted by the unit vector ut. Simultaneously, the n-axis, perpendicular to the t-axis, dissects the curved path into differential arc segments, each forming the arc of a circle with a radius of...
