Quantum Turbulence: Generation and Evolution in Bosonic and Fermionic Superfluids

POSTER

Abstract

Interactions between quantized vortices govern the generation and decay of quantum turbulence. Accurate simulation of the vortex dynamics employing models like time-dependent Superfluid Local Density Approximation (TDSLDA) can be computationally quite expensive for a macroscopically large Fermionic sample. To understand these interactions and the instabilities inherent to the turbulent regimes, we propose using Extended Thomas Fermi (ETF) model, similar to the Gross-Pitaevskii (GPE) with a finite temperature extension. In this work, we investigate the role of temperature in the evolution of turbulence in the Unitary Fermi Gas (UFG) and validate against TDSLDA.
