Nonlocality in Homogeneous Superfluid Turbulence

Simulating superfluid turbulence using the localized induction approximation in periodic bound- aries produces open-orbit vortices, which make superfluid turbulence unsustainable. Calculating with the fully nonlocal Biot-Savart law prevents the open-orbit state from forming, but also in- creases computation time. We use a truncated Biot-Savart integral to investigate the effects of nonlocality on homogeneous turbulence. We find that including the nonlocal interaction up to the average intervortex spacing prevents this open-orbit state from forming, yielding an accurate model of homogeneous superfluid turbulence with less computation time.
