Turbulence in superfluids: ideas, experiments, mumerics and theory
Date/Time: 14:10 07-Aug-2014
Abstract:
Turbulence in superfluid helium is unusual and presents a challenge
to fluid dynamicists because it consists of two coupled, inter penetrating turbulent fluids: the first is inviscid with quantized vorticity, the second is viscous with continuous vorticity. Despite this double nature, the observed spectra of the superfluid turbulent velocity at sufficiently large length scales are similar to those of ordinary turbulence. I present experimental, numerical and theoretical results which explain these similarities, and illustrate the limits of our present understanding of superfluid turbulence. Attachments:
