Abstract
It is shown that the concepts developed for understanding superfluid turbulence in thermal counterflow can be successfully applied when the He II is also in uniform rotation. In particular, the association of a critical length scale with the turbulent transition, when extended naturally to the rotating superfluid, yields a simple result in good agreement with the data of Yarmchuck and Glaberson.Keywords
