Earlier the existence has been established of two regimes of quantum turbulence:

the quasiclassical regime associated, at hydrodynamic scales, with the Richardson

cascade and the Kolmogorov energy spectrum, and the ultraquantum (Vinen)

regime without the classical energy spectrum and cascade. This raises the question

whether Vinen turbulence is a new form of disorder, or there are mechanisms

which prevent the development of the classical cascade and the Kolmogorov

spectrum. We argue that the latter is the solution of this important puzzle.

O3.7

Statistical signature of vortex filaments: dog or tail?

Serggey Nemirovskii

Institute of Thermophysics, Lavrentyev ave, 1, 630090, Novosibirsk, Russia

The title of talk coincides with the title of the paragraph in famous book on

classical turbulence by U. Frisch. In this paragraph the author discussed the

role of statistical dynamics of vortex filaments in theory of turbulence and put

the above question. In other words, whether the main properties of turbulence

(cascade, scaling laws) are the sequence of the vortex line dynamics or the latter

have only marginal signature. The goal of my talk is to discuss which elements

of vortex dynamics would lead to main ingredients of theory of turbulence. We

discuss an exchange of energy between different scales, the possible origin of

Kolmogorov type spectra and the decay of quantum turbulence.
