Generation of superfluid turbulence deduced from simple dynamical rules

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
It is postulated that a quantized-vortex tangle obeys classical vortex dynamics, and that internal line-line crossings can result in topology-changing reconnections. Implementation of these rules leads to a quantitatively successful description of homogeneous superfluid turbulence.
