We investigate the thermal counterflowof the superfluid He-4 by numerically simulating three-dimensional fully coupled dynamics of the two fluids, namely quantized vortices and a normal fluid. We analyze the velocity fluctuations of the laminar normal fluid arising from the mutual friction with the quantum turbulence of the superfluid component. The streamwise fluctuations exhibit higher intensity and longer-range autocorrelation, as compared to transverse ones. The anomalous fluctuations are consistent with visualization experiments [Mastracci et al., Phys. Rev. Fluids 4, 083305 (2019)], and our results confirm their analysis with simple models on the anisotropic fluctuations. This success validates themodel of the fully coupled dynamics and paves the way for solving some outstanding problems in this two-fluid system.
