Dynamics of the forward vortex cascade in two-dimensional quantum   turbulence
  The dynamics of the forward vortex cascade in 2D turbulence in a superfluid film is investigated using analytic techniques. The cascade is formed by injecting pairs with the same initial separation (the stirring scale) at a constant rate. They move to smaller scales with constant current under the action of frictional forces, finally reaching the core size separation, where they annihilate and the energy is removed by a thermal bath. On switching off the injection, the pair distribution first decays starting from the initial stirring scale, with the total vortex density decreasing linearly in time at a rate equal to the initial injection rate. As pairs at smaller scales decay, the vortex density then falls off as a power law, the same power law found in recent exact solutions of quenched 2D superfluids.
