Abstract

We study intermittency of circulation moments in turbulent superfluid helium by using experimental grid turbulence and numerical simulations of the Hall-Vinen-Bekarevich-Khalatnikov model. More precisely, we compute the velocity circulation Γr in loops of size r laying in the inertial range. For both experimental and numerical data, the circulation variance shows a clear Kolmogorov scaling (Γr2)∼r8/3 in the inertial range, independently of the temperature. Scaling exponents of high-order moments are comparable, within error bars, to previously reported anomalous circulation exponents in classical turbulence and low-temperature quantum turbulence numerical simulations.
