Shear-Induced Decaying Turbulence in Bose-Einstein Condensates
Shear-Induced Decaying Turbulence in Bose-Einstein Condensates
We study the creation and breakdown of a quantized vortex shear layer forming between a stationary Bose-Einstein condensate and a stirred-in persistent current. Once turbulence is established, we characterize the progressive clustering of the vortices, showing that the cluster number follows a power law decay with time, similar to decaying …
