摘要
We report the critical behavior of steady quantum turbulence in superfluid He-4. By using a thin vibrating wire with no bridge vortices in the superfluid, we find that lifetime of turbulent state for a given driving force reveals an exponential distribution. The mean lifetime estimated from the distribution decreases exponentially but greatly below a critical injection power. We estimate the vortex line density in the turbulent state and find that this critical behavior arises when the interdistance between vortex lines becomes as large as the turbulent region.
