I think the scientist of the anecdote is Albert Einstein, but am very unsure. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 05:16 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I am interested in the concept of turbulence as applied to air travel. I always thought the stratosphere was isothermal (horizontally) and smooth, so what is the origin of the "unexpected turbulence" that is often encountered by airliners?
The first picture looks interesting, but unfortunately I am completely unable to decipher what it is. It's obviously water and ... something. The caption gives no hint at all. Can someone elaborate?
- It looks like water flowing over a ledge with a vertical post sticking up. The pattern you see behind it is the separation of water from the ledge 'behind the waterfall'. -Sprintstar 10:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
What would the world be like without turbulance? I bet it makes some fundamental things possible, but what? -Sprintstar 10:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC) does the turbulence in a pipe vary with age
Why does cigarette smoke switch from laminar to turbulent flow? Is it because the velocity of the smoke increases as it rises? --Wyckyd Sceptre 20:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Turbulence during plane trips
Airplane turbulence is also what I was hoping to find in this page. If someone could make a page on how that specifically relates, that'd be great. 24.136.1.115 02:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think you're looking for Clear air turbulence. --Wjbeaty 12:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
