Abstract
In the paper we study the detailed structure of the order parameters in the vortex lattice of superfluid3He-A and compare several vortex lattice structures. Our analysis is confined to a unit cell and assumes a periodic boundary condition for the superfluid velocity field and the order parameter fields. However, we do not assume orthonormality for the order parametersm andn (from which the direction of the orbital angular momentum is given byÎ=m×n/mn). We obtain a stable configuration for the order parameters and vortex lattice structure using the relaxation technique.
