Vortex Line Density in a Superfluid Turbulent Wake in the Zero Temperature Limit

Hiromitsu Takeuchi

ABSTRACT We theoretically study the line density of quantum vortices in a superfluid turbulent wake based on the conjecture of quantum turbulence of a pure superfluid in the zero temperature limit. The conjecture states that a collection of many quantum vortices can mimic a classical eddy in the continuum approximation. By straightforwardly relating the Kolmogorov's similarity to this conjecture, we can estimate that the effective viscosity of a pure superfluid turbulence is comparable to the circulation quantum , the minimum circulation of quantum vortices. This result naturally leads to a definition of the superfluid Reynolds number, with the characteristic size and velocity , supported by the fact that the equation of motion of a pure superfluid reduces to the Euler equation for high . By using the classical description of the rate of energy injection or dissipation, we quantitatively evaluate a characteristic density of vortex lines in a superfluid turbulent wake and its spatial profile of grid turbulence in terms of the superfluid Reynolds number.

Enhancement of Damping in a Turbulent Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensate

Junghoon Lee, J. C. Kim, Jongheum Jung +1 more

Turbulence enhances momentum transport in classical fluids, effectively increasing their viscosity. We investigate an analogous effect in a superfluid by measuring the damping of collective oscillations in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) containing stationary spin-superflow turbulence. Using continuous spin driving to maintain turbulence in a spin-1 ^{23}Na BEC, we excite its quadrupole mode and measure the damping rate over a range of temperatures. The damping consistently exceeds the Landau-damping rate expected for an equilibrium, nonturbulent BEC. The enhancement likely originates from two complementary processes: direct energy transfer from the mode to turbulent condensate fluctuations and turbulence-induced modification of the thermal cloud that amplifies Landau damping. These results establish collective-mode damping as a sensitive probe of momentum transport in superfluid turbulence.
