Descripción
Helicity is a topological invariant that measures the linkage and knottedness of lines, tubes, and ribbons. As such, it has found myriads of applications in astrophysics, fluid dynamics, atmospheric sciences, and biology. In quantum flows, where topology-changing reconnection events are a staple, helicity appears as a key quantity to study. However, the usual definition of helicity is not well posed in quantum vortices, and its computation based on counting links and crossings of centerline vorticity can be downright impossible to apply in complex and turbulent scenarios. We present a definition of helicity which overcomes these problems and which gives the expected result in the large-scale limit. With it, we show that certain reconnection events can excite Kelvin waves and other complex motions of the centerline vorticity, which slowly deplete helicity as they interact nonlinearly, thus linking the theory of vortex knots with observations of quantum fluids. This process also results in the depletion of helicity in a fully turbulent quantum flow, in a way reminiscent of the decay of helicity in classical fluids.
