In the atmosphere, this phenomenon is predicted by low values of the Richardson number.
A theory of this phenomenon states that it is composed of structures whose length equals the kinematic viscosity cubed, divided by the energy dissipation, all raised to the one-fourth power. In the atmosphere, this phenomenon is predicted by low values of the Richardson number. A theory of this phenomenon called K41 was developed by Kolmogorov in a 1941 paper. Large eddy simulations attempt to predict the motion of structures in this phenomenon. In fluid dynamics, it is predicted by high values of the Reynolds number, and is contrasted with laminar flow. For 10 points, name this unstable motion in a liquid or gas that is experienced on a bumpy flight.
