turbulence theory

Turbulence theory studies the irregular, chaotic motion of fluids like air and water. Unlike smooth flow, turbulence involves complex, fluctuating patterns caused by differences in speed, pressure, and temperature. It creates vortices and eddies that mix the fluid vigorously. Understanding turbulence helps predict weather, design efficient aircraft, and improve industrial processes. Although it appears random, turbulence follows underlying physical principles, and scientists use mathematical models and experiments to describe its behavior, aiming to predict and control these chaotic flows more accurately.
