Superfluid fountain effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate by Karpiuk, Tomasz, Grémaud, Benoît, Miniatura, Christian, Gajda, Mariusz

“…We show that the superfluid component can easily flow from the colder vessel to the hotter one while the normal component is practically blocked in the latter. In the long-time limit, the superfluid component exhibits periodic oscillations reminiscent of the ac Josephson effect obtained in superfluid weak-link experiments.…”
