Abstract: We report preliminary results on spherical thermal counterflow generated by a small central heater in an open geometry, an open bath of superfluid He II, as closed cell experiments could have introduced artifacts such as overheating and boundary-induced flows. In order to eliminate them, we measure second sound attenuation in a plane-parallel resonator. Our results are at variance with the previous experiments in closed spherical cavity that showed plateau in the steady-state vortex line density and its inverse time decay, neither of which is observed presently. We find that in open geometry the vortex line density L increases steadily with counterflow velocity v ns , displaying a crossover between L ∝ v ns 2 typical for counterflow and L ∝ v ns 3 / 2 , characteristic for the quasi-classical scaling.
