Performinghighly precise Monte-Carlo simulations of SU(2) gluodynamics, we observe forthe first time Abelian dominance in the confining part ofthe static potential in local unitary gauges such as theF12 gauge. We also study the flux-tube profile between thequark and antiquark in these local unitary gauges, and wefind a clear signal of the dual Meissner effect. TheAbelian electric field is found to be squeezed into aflux tube by the monopole supercurrent. This feature is thesame as that observed in the nonlocal maximally Abelian gauge.These results suggest that the Abelian confinement scenario is gaugeindependent. Observing the important role of spacelike monopoles in thePolyakov gauge also indicates that the monopoles defined on thelattice do not necessarily correspond to those proposed by 'tHooft in the context of Abelian projection.
