Intermittency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Word intermittence, intermittency means the quality of being intermittent; subject to interruption or periodic stopping.
In dynamical systems, alternation of phases of regular and chaotic dynamics is called intermittency.
Consider a dynamical system. Let x be the observed variable. If x plotted as a function of time exhibits segments of relative constant values (laminar phase) interspersed by erratic bursts, the system dynamics is intermittent.[1]
Intermittency factor is the fraction of time that motion is turbulent, denoted μ.
