Turbulence 2
Turbulence 2 : A flow of water in which the motion of individual particles appears irregular and confused. A state of fluid flow in which the instantaneous velocities exhibit irregular and apparendy random fluctuations so that in practice only statistical properties can be recognized and subjected to analysis. The situation is, in fact, analogous to that accepted unreservedly in the field of molecular physics. These fluctuations often constitute major deformations of the flow and are capable of transporting momentum, energy, and suspended matter at rates far in excess of the rate of transport by the molecular processes of diffusion and conduction in a non-turbulent or laminar flow.
