Hydrodynamic flow of expanding Bose-Einstein condensates

Hydrodynamic flow of expanding Bose-Einstein condensates

We study expansion of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) after switching off the confining harmonic potential. Exact solution of dynamical equations is obtained in framework of the hydrodynamic approximation and it is compared with the direct numerical simulation of the full problem showing excellent agreement at realistic values of physical parameters. …
