Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 135301 (2004) [4 pages]Vortex Instability and the Onset of Superfluid TurbulenceReceived 1 October 2003; published 31 March 2004 Quantized circulation, the absence of Galilean invariance due to a clamped normal component, and the vortex mutual friction are the major factors that make superfluid turbulence behave in a way different from that in classical fluids. The model is developed for the onset of superfluid turbulence that describes the initial avalanchelike multiplication of vortices into a turbulent vortex tangle. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
