Finite temperature effects in helical quantum turbulence

Fluid Dynamics 2018-09-26 v2

Abstract

We perform a study on the evolution of helical quantum turbulence at different temperatures by solving numerically the Gross-Pitaevskii and the Stochastic Ginzburg-Landau equations, using up to 409634096^3 grid points with a pseudospectral method. We show that for temperatures close to the critical the fluid described by these equations can act as a classical viscous flow, with the decay of the incompressible kinetic energy and the helicity becoming exponential. The transition from this behavior to the one observed at zero temperature is smooth as a function of temperature. Moreover, the presence of strong thermal effects can inhibit the development of a proper turbulent cascade. We provide anzats for the effective viscosity and friction as a function of the temperature
