Abstract

The flow of

{}^{3}{He}

-

B

is studied in a

U

-tube geometry. The current is found to saturate at a critical value,

J_{s, c}

, which is independent of driving force. The current

J_{s, c}

scales with temperature as

{(1 - \frac{T}{T_{c}})}^{\frac{3}{2}}

in agreement with Ginzburg-Landau theory.
