Vortex motion in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

We have performed numerical simulations of various vortex configurations in a trapped BoseEinstein condensate by solving the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the presence of a simple model of interaction between the condensate and the finite temperature thermal cloud that surrounds it. I...
