Superfluid Mutual-friction Coefficients from Vortex Dynamics in the   Two-dimensional Galerkin-truncated Gross-Pitaevskii Equation
  We present algorithms for the ab-initio determination of the temperature ($T$) dependence of the mutual-friction coefficients $\alpha$ and $\alpha'$ and the normal-fluid density $\rho_{\rm n}$ in the two-dimensional (2D) Galerkin-truncated Gross-Pitaevskii system. Our algorithms enable us to determine $\alpha(T)$, even though fluctuations in 2D are considerably larger than they are in 3D. We also examine the implications of our measurements of $\alpha'(T)$ for the Iordanskii force, whose existence is often questioned.
