Abstract
The article presents the results of a numerical and analytical study of the development of a quantum vortex structure in superfluid helium under the influence of a random Langevin force that simulates thermal excitation. The study focuses on issues related to the density of the vortex tangle and distribution of vortex loops by their sizes, as well as the frequency of reconnections. The analytical part presents two methods to solve the problem: continuous and discrete. Numerical simulation is an important tool for solving the stochastic dynamics of quantum vortex filaments subjected to a random force, which is complex task. A comparison of the respective results is carried out.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Engineering Thermophysics is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles. The journal welcomes original articles on thermophysics from all countries in the English language. The journal focuses on experimental work, theory, analysis, and computational studies for better understanding of engineering and environmental aspects of thermophysics. The editorial board encourages the authors to submit papers with emphasis on new scientific aspects in experimental and visualization techniques, mathematical models of thermophysical process, energy, and environmental applications. Journal of Engineering Thermophysics covers all subject matter related to thermophysics, including heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow, conduction, radiation, combustion, thermo-gas dynamics, rarefied gas flow, environmental protection in power engineering, and many others.
