The paper is concerned with the interpretation of many experiments that have been reported recently on the production of quantum turbulence by oscillating spheres, wires and grids in both 4He and 3He-B at temperatures so low that there is a negligible fraction of normal fluid. The experimental results are compared with those obtained in analogous experiments with classical fluids and with preliminary simulations of the quantum turbulence. Particular attention is paid to observed values of drag coefficients and to the very different critical velocities observed in 4He and 3He. It is tentatively concluded that in the case of 4He behaviour may well be similar to that observed in the classical analogues, with relatively small changes when the characteristic size of the oscillating structure is not large compared with the quantized vortex spacing, but that in the case of 3He behaviour is very different and due perhaps to very rapid intrinsic nucleation of the quantized vortices.
