The energy decay in the hydrodynamic case 1.Energy decay (definition) d/dt = (the correction due to non-stationarity is demonstrably small) 2. Dissipative anomaly, or the so-called “zeroth law” (Taylor 1915, 1935) = C 3/2 / O(1) The growth of with time is unknown power law, and so (1) and (2) cannot be solved. grows with time and, after some time, could be limited by D, the width of the apparatus. It is reasonable to assume then that = constant = D.

Assumptions 1. Write p m (t) p(t) + Uu(t), while ignoring the fluctuation term u 2 ; this is not reasonable because u/U 0.2-0.3 in this flow. 2. Assume that p << Uu(t). Not true for any flow with shear. Pressure follows the Poisson equation p = − 2 U i / x j )( u j / x i ) − x i x j [ ( u i u j − )], The first terms on RHS represents the shear contributions. Pressure fluctuation = O( u 2 ) for the shear-free case, but O( U 2 ) for flows with shear, and the pressure spectrum has a slope of -5/3. 3. The situation in the superfluid case is probably different from what the authors assumed.

Recommendation on Topic 2 Repeat the Maurer-Tabeling experiment in homogeneous grid flow in a helium wind tunnel.
16
What is being measured and how to interpret it? The signal (attenuation of the second sound) is averaged along the line of sight. Think of this process as integrating the original function f(x,t) over x (the coordinate in the direction of line of sight). The Fourier transform of the integral of a function is (i ) -1 times the FT of the function. For spectrum one should multiply by complex conjugate and get -2 times the spectrum of the function. There may be some technical problems with this thinking, but the basic idea must hold.

Superfluid case Details presumably depend on initial conditions. b = a 1/2 |t-t 0 | , where the most probable value of = 0.5 [Paoletti, Fisher, KRS & Lathrop, PRL 101 154501 (2008)]; see Tebbe. Youd & Barenghi, JLTP 162, 314 (2011), who numerically studied the approach (but apparently not the repulsion). Would be nice to have a theory. Reconnection complete [Koplik & Levine, PRL 71, 1375 (1993)] Duration of interaction not known; what role in dissipation? No singularities (at least within GP, which is has smooth solutions) Hydrodynamic case Presumably generic. b = a{Re(t 0 -t)} 3/4 ; a = b{Re(t-t 0 )} 2 Reconnection is not complete Duration of interaction ~ Re 3/4 Claimed to be a source of aerodynamic noise. Singularities may exist for = 0 (not necessarily ruled out even for ≠ 0)

26
Recommendations on Topic 3 What role does vortex reconnection play in hydrodynamic turbulence? If it does occur, it seems to leave no telltale signs unlike in the quantum case. Produce in the superfluid case some new and better pictures than those of Koplik & Levine nearly 20 years ago. Get data on the symmetry or otherwise of the reconnection events. Study the importance of initial conditions on dynamical and topological features of reconnection of quantized vortices Understand the extent to which a reconnection event in quantum turbulence is dissipative.
27
kinematic nonlinearity Almost certainly hold for hydrodynamic turbulence; seem to hold also for some extreme conditions such as near the critical point [see Halperin & Hohenberg RMP 49, 435 (1977)]. Hydrodynamic turbulence Quantum turbulence Local induction approximation (let’s move past it!) Bio-Savart; dynamically inconsistent procedures (super fluid not affecting the normal fluid), etc GPE (used for T = 0); how best to account for finite T? RANS-type averaged Euler-like equation arising from GPE What are we doing exactly in solving GPE? computers

30
Recommendation on Simulations Make a more convincing and large simulation of quantum turbulence using GPE, especially better resolving scales smaller than the inter- vortex spacing.
31
Requirements on particle properties Must be small enough to follow the flow with fidelity (i.e., must respond to the smallest scales of the flow with fast response); in particular, must have the same density as the fluid Must be large enough to be imaged with ‘usable’ illumination and detection equipment Must not cluster In liquid helium Because of small apparatus and large Reynolds numbers, small scales are smaller than in water; in particular, the density of helium I is 1/8 that of water; quantized vortices on the size of Angstroms Very small particles cannot be imaged Mutual attraction of particles and clustering cannot be suppressed by using surfactants as in water.
