Turbulence appears in situations where, e.g., an energy flux goes from large to small scales where finally the energy is dissipated. As a result the distribution of occupation numbers of excitations follows a power law with a universal critical exponent. The situation can be described as a nonthermal fixed point of the dynamical equations. Single-particle momentum spectra for a dynamically evolving Bose gas are analysed using semi-classical simulations and quantum-field theoretic methods based on effective-action techniques. These give information about possible universal scaling behaviour. The connection of this scaling with the appearance of topological excitations such as solitons and vortices in one-component gases and domain walls and spin textures in multi-component systems is discussed. In addition, this results are also discussed from the point of view of holographic superfluids. The results open a view on solitary wave dynamics from the point of view of critical phenomena far from thermal equilibrium and on a possibility to study non-thermal fixed points and superfluid turbulence in experiment without the necessity of detecting solitons and vortices in situ.
