Currently a PhD student in the MOST team, I study quantum turbulence using numerical simulations.
When helium-4 is cooled down near absolute zero, it reaches a superfluid state, where it can flow with virtually no viscosity. Because of quantum mechanical constraints, any rotational motion of the fluid will generate quantum vortices, which possess a quantified circulation and an atom sized radius. These vortices can reconnect with one another, and when many vortices interact with each other, a state known as quantum turbulence may appear. This state has been shown to display similar properties to turbulence in classical fluids, including the emergence of Kolmogorov’s 1941 laws.
By using a numerical model called : vortex filament model (VFM) we investigate the similarities and differences between classical and quantum turbulence.
