It is known that the apparent film flow rateof superfluidHe increases significantly when the container wall is contaminated by a thin layer of solid air. However, its microscopic mechanism has not yet been clarified enough. We have measuredunder largely different conditions for the container wall in terms of surface area (0.77–6.15 m) and surface morphology using sintered silver fine powders (particle size: 0.10m) and porous glass (pore size: 0.5, 1m). We could increaseby more than two orders of magnitude compared to non-treated smooth glass walls, where liquid helium flows down from the bottom of the container as a continuous stream rather than discrete drips. By modeling the surface morphology, we estimated the effective perimeter of the containerand calculated the flow rate, whereis the apparent perimeter without considering the microscopic surface structures. The resultantjvalues for the various containers are constant within a factor of four, suggesting that the enhancement ofplays a major role to changeto such a huge extent and that the superfluid critical velocity,, does not change appreciably. The measured temperature dependence ofjrevealed thatvalues in our experiments are determined by the vortex depinning model of Schwarz (Phys Rev B 31(9):5782, 1985. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.31.5782 ) with several nm size pinning sites.
