Introduction to quantum turbulence
arXiv:1404.1909 · doi:10.1073/pnas.1400033111
Abstract
The term quantum turbulence denotes the turbulent motion of quantum fluids, systems such as superfluid helium and atomic Bose-Einstein condensates which are characterized by quantized vorticity, uperfluidity and, at finite temperatures, two-fluid behavior. This article introduces their basic properties, describes types and regimes of turbulence which have been observed, and highlights similarities and differences between quantum turbulence and classical turbulence in ordinary fluids. Our aim is also to link together the articles of this special issue, and to provide a perspective of the future development of a subject which contains aspects of fluid mechanics, atomic physics, condensed matter and low temperature physics.
