Abstract

On the basis of transient heat transfer measurements of the film boiling onset time in a He II bath, a criterion correlated to the bath temperature and pressure for quantum turbulence onset after a rectangular heat pulse in superfluid helium is shown. Using the criterion parameter α it is possible to determine the time τ needed to initiate quantum turbulence in the He II bath after a rectangular heat pulse. It is found that the criterion value in a He II bath is much smaller than that for He II confined in small channels. A strong pressure effect is also exhibited.
