Abstract
Superfluid turbulence has been one of the most important problems of superfluid hydrodynamics, in which quantized vortices play a significant role. The recent research on superfluid turbulence enters a new stage rather different from the old ones chiefly devoted to thermal counterflow. After describing the current motivation on these topics, we discuss our research which studies the energy spectrum both by the vortex filament model and the Gross-Pitaevskii model. Both energy spectra are consistent with the Kolmogorov law, which shows a close similarity between superfluid (quantum) and classical turbulence.
