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 Δh\Delta h is linear in chemical-potential difference Δμ\Delta\mu with R2=1.000R^{2} = 1.000 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.
