Abstract
Spin-superflow turbulence (SST) in spin-1 ferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein condensates is theoretically and numerically studied by using the spin-1 spinor Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations. SST is turbulence in which the disturbed spin and superfluid velocity fields are coupled. Applying the Kolmogorov-type dimensional scaling analysis to the hydrodynamic equations of spin and velocity fields, we theoretically find that the and power laws can appear in spectra of the superflow kinetic and the spin-dependent interaction energies, respectively. Our numerical calculation of the GP equations with a phenomenological small-scale energy dissipation confirms SST with the coexistence of disturbed spin and superfluid velocity field with two power laws.
