Turbulence in an ultracold Bose gas, in one, two and three spatial dimensions, is investigated analytically and numerically. A special focus is set on the infrared regime of large-scale excitations following universal power-law distributions distinctly different from those of commonly known weak wave-turbulence phenomena. It is explained, how the infrared power laws can be understood from the statistics of vortices as well as from an analytic field-theoretic approach based on the 2PI effective action. Possible ways to experimentally study strong turbulence phenomena with ultracold atomic gases are outlined.
