Notes:
The current-induced textural transion in a slab of 3He-A for temperatures near the critical temperature is studied numerically in the nonlinear regime above the threshold. The thick-slab, dipole-locked case and the thin-slab, dipoleunlocked case give second-order and first-order transitions, respectively. The nonplanar textures which should occur beyond the transition are illustrated in a number of ways, and pertinent data are obtained for verifying these transitions by sound attenuation and superfluid density measurements.
