Abstract
Superfluid 3He−B
in the zero-temperature limit offers a unique means of studying quantum
turbulence by the Andreev reflection of quasiparticle excitations by
the vortex flow fields. We validate the experimental visualization of
turbulence in 3He−B
by showing the relation between the vortex-line density and the Andreev
reflectance of the vortex tangle in the first simulations of the
Andreev reflectance by a realistic 3D vortex tangle, and comparing the
results with the first experimental measurements able to probe quantum
turbulence on length scales smaller than the intervortex separation.
