Abstract

We study coherent current states in the mesoscopic superconducting weak link simultaneously subjected to the order parameter phase difference φ on the contact and to the tangential to the junction interface superfluid velocity vs in the banks. The Josephson current-phase relation IJ(φ) controlled by the external transport current IT(vs) is obtained. At φ close to π the nonlocal nature of the Josephson phase-dependent current results in the appearance of two vortexlike states in the vicinity of the contact.
