Universal self-similar evolution of two-dimensional acoustic turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates

Guillaume Costa, Sergey Nazarenko, Giorgio Krstulovic

When driven out of equilibrium, a Bose-Einstein condensate develops nonlinearly interacting density waves that trigger a turbulent cascade, transferring energy toward small scales. In this Letter, we investigate the nonstationary evolution of solutions to the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). Through numerical simulations of both the GPE and the corresponding Wave Kinetic Equation (WKE), we identify self-similar solutions relevant to turbulence in atomic and polariton Bose-Einstein Condensates. These solutions correspond to a new type of non-thermal fixed point and exhibit characteristics of both first and second kind self-similarity. In particular, we show that the dynamics of the propagating front is universal, governed by a dimensionless universal constant $β$, which we determine numerically.

Self-similar evolution of wave turbulence in Gross-Pitaevskii system

Ying Zhu, Б. В. Семисалов, Giorgio Krstulovic +1 more

We study the universal nonstationary evolution of wave turbulence (WT) in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Their temporal evolution can exhibit different kinds of self-similar behavior corresponding to a large-time asymptotic of the system or to a finite-time blowup. We identify self-similar regimes in BECs by numerically simulating the forced and unforced Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and the associated wave kinetic equation (WKE) for the direct and inverse cascades, respectively. In both the GPE and the WKE simulations for the direct cascade, we observe the first-kind self-similarity that is fully determined by energy conservation. For the inverse cascade evolution, we verify the existence of a self-similar evolution of the second kind describing self-accelerating dynamics of the spectrum leading to blowup at the zero mode (condensate) at a finite time. We believe that the universal self-similar spectra found in the present paper are as important and relevant for understanding the BEC turbulence in past and future experiments as the commonly studied stationary Kolmogorov-Zakharov (KZ) spectra.

Direct and Inverse Cascades in Turbulent Bose-Einstein Condensates

Ying Zhu, Б. В. Семисалов, Giorgio Krstulovic +1 more

When a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is driven out of equilibrium, density waves interact nonlinearly and trigger turbulent cascades. In a turbulent BEC, energy is transferred toward small scales by a direct cascade, whereas the number of particles displays an inverse cascade toward large scales. In this work, we study analytically and numerically the direct and inverse cascades in wave-turbulent BECs. We analytically derive the Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectra, including the log correction to the direct cascade scaling and the universal prefactor constants for both cascades. We test and corroborate our predictions using high-resolution numerical simulations of the forced-dissipated Gross-Pitaevskii model in a periodic box and the corresponding wave-kinetic equation. Theoretical predictions and data are in excellent agreement, without adjustable parameters. Moreover, in order to connect with experiments, we test and validate our theoretical predictions using the Gross-Pitaevskii model with a confining cubic trap. Our results explain previous experimental observations and suggest new settings for future studies.
