Quantum of circulation in superfluids

quantumOfCirculation is the fundamental circulation unit in superfluid flow. Quantized vortices carry circulation in integer multiples of this value.

Context

It connects quantum mechanics with macroscopic fluid behavior through planckConstant and particle mass. Use multiply to calculate integer vortex multiples.

Caveats

The applicable mass and convention depend on the superfluid system. It is not the same quantity as magneticFluxQuantum; keep units and physical setting explicit.

Use Quantum Of Circulation in a calculation
