In both cases there is an initial fast decay which, for low enough initial line density, approaches for a short time the form t−1 characteristic of the decay of a random vortex tangle. This is followed at late times by a slower t−3/2 decay, characteristic of the decay of large “quasiclassical” eddies. However, in the range of investigated parameters, we observe always in the case of thermal counterflow, and only in a few cases of high steady-state velocity in superflow, an intermediate regime in which the decay either does not proceed monotonically with time or passes through a point of inflexion. This difference, established firmly by our experiments, might represent one essential ingredient for the full theoretical understanding of counterflow turbulence.
