    Starting from the expression of Laguerre-Gaussian vortex beam and based on Rayleigh diffraction theory, the variation of rotating coherence function of vortex beam propagating in atmospheric turbulence is studied. The crosstalk between the angular momentum of each orbital angular momentum when the vortex beam propagates in atmospheric turbulence is summarized. The topological charge detection probability is used to describe the crosstalk law, and the analytical expression of the topological charge detection probability is derived. The distribution of topological charge number of vortex beam passing through turbulence is studied, and the results are compared with the numerical simulation results of vortex beam passing through atmospheric random phase screen. The relationship between the detection probability of the theoretical and simulated topological charge numbers with the turbulence intensity and the topological charge number of the initial vortex beam is compared, and the correctness of the analytical expression of the topological charge number detection probability is verified. Through this expression, the interaction between atmospheric turbulence and vortex beam can be further studied, which can affect the essence of angular momentum scattering of vortex beam, and the suitable topological charge number interval can be selected for the space optical communication of vortex beam. It also provides a theoretical basis for selecting the appropriate beam waist size under different turbulence intensities to reduce the bit error rate (BER) caused by crosstalk.
