✦ Synopsis

Stationary fronts of superfluid turbulence have been produced in small nonuniform channels. The front occurs at that position in the channel where the local velocity reaches the critical value. Converging and diverging flows in a channel of circular cross section and diverging flow in a channel of rectangular cross section have been studied. The front in the diverging circular channel is anomalous, becoming unstable at a position near the middle of the channel.
