Self-Organization of Vortex Length Distribution in Quantum Turbulence: An Approach from the Barabasi-Albert Model
Abstract
The energy spectrum of quantum turbulence obeys Kolmogorov's law. The vortex length distribution (VLD), meaning the size distribution of the vortices, in Kolmogorov quantum turbulence also obeys a power law. We propose here an innovative idea to study the origin of the power law of the VLD. The nature of quantized vortices allows one to describe the decay of quantum turbulence with a simple model that is similar to the Barabasi-Albert model of large networks. We show here that such a model can reproduce the power law of the VLD well.
