Quantum hydrodynamics is more than the study of superfluidity. Some of the main subjects in quantum hydrodynamics are quantum turbulence, quantized vortices, first, second and third sound, and quantum solvents. The quantum hydrodynamic equation is an equation in Bohmian mechanics, which, it turns out, has a mathematical relationship to classical fluid dynamics. This is a rich theoretical field. Superfluidity is a phase of matter characterised by the complete absence of viscosity. ...
Quantum Turbulence is the turbulent flow of quantized vortices. ...
Any superfluid can theoretically act as a quantum solvent. ...
The Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, sometimes called the Causal interpretation, or Ontological interpretation, is an interpretation postulated by David Bohm in which the existence of a non-local universal wavefunction (Schrödinger equation) allows distant particles to interact instantaneously. ...
This article or section should be merged with Fluid mechanics Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion, and the effect of the fluid motion on fluid boundaries, such as solid containers or other fluids. ...
However, the most common experimental applications of these studies are in liquid helium (He-3 and He-4), and of the interior of neutron stars. Many famous scientists have worked in quantum hydrodynamics, including Richard Feynman, Lev Landau, and Pyotr L. Kapitsa.

Cross section of a neutron star A neutron star is a type of degenerate star composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, generally about 20 km in diameter and as massive as an average star. ...
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 â February 15, 1988) (surname pronounced FINE-man; in IPA) was one of the most influential American physicists of the 20th century, expanding greatly the theory of quantum electrodynamics. ...
