Stochastic Dynamics of a Vortex Loop. Large Scale Stirring Force
Abstract
Stochastic dynamics of a vortex filament obeying local induced approximation equation plus random agitation is investigated by analytical and numerical methods. The character of a stirring force is supposed to be a white noise with spatial correlator concentrated at large distances comparable with size of the loop. Dependence of the spectral function of the vortex line on both the one-dimensional wave vector and intensity of the external force correlator was studied. Here is the Fourier transform of the line element position . It is shown that under the influence of an external random force a vortex ring becomes a small tangle whose mean size depends on external force intensity. The theoretical predictions and the numerical results are in reasonable agreement.
