  New methods of flow visualization near absolute zero have opened the way to
directly compare quantum turbulence (in superfluid helium) to classical
turbulence (in ordinary fluids such as air or water) and explore analogies and
differences. We present results of numerical simulations in which we examine
the statistics of the superfluid acceleration in thermal counterflow. We find
that, unlike the velocity, the acceleration obeys scaling laws similar to
classical turbulence, in agreement with a recent quantum turbulence experiment
of La Mantia et al.
