Abstract

In Ref. [1] the statistical structure of the turbulent cascade in the context of non-additive entropy was considered. Here we suggest that the vortex line ensemble in the Vinen quantum turbulence in superfluids is described by the non-extensive Tsallis-Cirto statistics with δ=3\delta=3. This in particular leads to the temperature, which describes the thermodynamics of the Vinen ensemble, Tmv2T\sim mv^2, where vv is the velocity of the flow and mm is the mass of the atom of the superfluid liquid.
