Scenario of strongly non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation

Large scale numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation are used to elucidate the self-evolution of a Bose gas from a strongly non-equilibrium initial state. The stages of the process confirm and refine the theoretical scenario of Bose-Einstein condensation developed by Svistunov, Kagan, and Shlyapnikov [1-3]: the system evolves from the regime of weak turbulence to superfluid turbulence, via states of strong turbulence in the long-wavelength region of energy space.
