Abstract
In thermal superfluid turbulence, an inviscid superfluid interacts with a viscous normal-fluid via mutual friction forces. Due to nonlinearities in both constituents, vortical, deterministic fluctuations (turbulence) arise under most flow conditions. Presently, computational and numerical complexity pose obstacles to high Reynolds number, fully resolved, developed turbulence computations. The application of Kinematic Simulation (KS) modeling to the inertial range of the normal-fluid constituent provided significant new results like superfluid energy spectra scalings, the fractal dimension of superfluid vorticity, inertial range pressure spectra scalings exhibiting departure from classical Kolmogorov theory predictions, as well as useful insight into superfluid turbulence decay.
