摘要: We employ the parallel computing technology to study numerically the three-dimensional structure of quantized vortices of Bose--Einstein condensates. For anisotropic cases, the bending process of vortices is described in detail by the decrease of Gross--Pitaevskii energy. A completely straight vortex and the steady and symmetrical multiple-vortex configurations are obtained. We analyse the effect of initial conditions and angular velocity on the number and shape of vortices.
