We have measured the mobility and limiting terminal velocity of electron bubbles
sliding along vortex lines in superfluid
4
He for a broad range of temperatures (0.1
- 1 K). This allows dissipative processes at small length scales to be probed, which
can include drag exerted by an excess density of excitations in the vicinity of
the vortex core; the scattering and generation of Kelvin waves; and condensation
of
3
He impurity atoms onto vortex cores. We have also used this technique to
probe the dynamics of agitated vortex arrays and the corresponding timescales
for relaxation back towards a rectilinear array, providing new insight into the
decay of quantum turbulence at short length scales.

Using the system of hydrodynamics equations for superfluid mixtures the problem
of temperature and concentration distribution in cylindrical geometry is solved.
Temperature excitations are caused by an oscillating heat source situated inside
of the cylinder. The obtained solution may serve for better understanding of heat
transfer in experiments dealing with oscillating tuning fork.
