Hydrodynamical description of long-wavelength density fluctuations of helium in wedges

The hydrodynamical model that has proven successful to describe excitations of superfluid helium in the bulk and adsorbed on planar surfaces, cylinders, and spheres is applied to investigate the long-wavelength density fluctuation spectrum of 3He confined to an infinite linear wedge at zero temperat...
