He-II fountain effect and zero viscosity
Purpose
Run GPE with a thermomechanical pressure gradient across a narrow channel to reproduce the superfluid fountain effect in He-II.
What it proves
The height rise is linear in chemical-potential difference with and zero viscous loss, confirming coherent mass flow of the condensate.
Relation to current theory
He-II is the textbook realisation of Landau two-fluid theory. SVT re-derives it from the *same* GPE it uses for the vacuum — providing a laboratory benchmark that the solver is not over-fit to cosmology.
