The transition from a free vortex superflow to a dissipative vortex flow in a superfluid remains an open problem, in particular because in real experiments, microscopic asperities on the walls play a major role since the relevant scales in a superfluid motion are basically of atomic scale. Here we model a superflow using the Gross-Pitaevskii mean-field equation in a domain with a rigid sinusoidal boundary.
