title: Vortex instability and the onset of superfluid turbulence.
abstract: 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.
