Abstract
On the ground of the Landau criterion we study the behavior of critical velocities in a superfluid twocomponent Bose gas It is found that under motion of the components with different velocities the velocity of each component should not be lower than a minimum phase velocity of elementary excitations s − The Landau criterion yields a relation between the critical velocities of the components v c1 v c2 The velocity of one or even both components may exceed s − The maximum value of the critical velocity of a given component can be reached when the other component does not move The approach is generalized for a twocomponent condensate confined in a cylindrical harmonic potential
