Towards quantum turbulence theory: A simple model with interaction of vortex loops

This paper investigates quantized thin vortex rings with an internal structure. The quantization scheme of this dynamical system is based on an earlier approach proposed by the author. Both energy spectrum and circulation spectrum are calculated. Examples show that the set of permissible circulation values has a fractal structure. The suggested model allows us to describe the system of isolated vortex rings as well as the vortex rings with interaction. Furthermore, the application to the quantum turbulence theory is discussed. The general expression for the partition function of a turbulent flow is suggested.
