Vibrating wire resonators (VWRs) have long been utilized as probes to study cryogenic fluids such as He-3 and He-4. In superfluid turbulence research, the response to their self-induced flow has been studied in great detail.
However, with the development experiments designed to generate large scale superflows, the need for reliable probes has arisen. Here we report our preliminary experiments, where a vibrating wire resonator is used to detect an externally applied flow in superfluid He-4.
