From: Vortex clustering, polarisation and circulation intermittency in classical and quantum turbulence

Fig. 6

Top panels: PDFs of the circulation in classical turbulence as a function of the loop size r. a Unconditioned PDFs. b PDFs conditioned on low values of the local coarse-grained dissipation, εr/〈ε〉  [0.5, 1]. The different colours correspond to different loop sizes within the inertial range. c, d Scaling exponents of the circulation moments in (c) classical and (d) quantum turbulence. Different colours indicate a conditioning (c) on the local dissipation and (d) on the number of vortices within each loop. The unconditioned exponents are shown with black crosses. The Kolmogorov self-similar scaling is shown as reference (red dashed line). Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.
