turbulent flow
n
(Physics / General Physics) flow of a fluid in which its velocity at any point varies rapidly in an irregular manner Compare laminar flow See also streamline flow
turbulent flow (tûr by -lnt) Movement of a fluid in which subcurrents in the fluid display turbulence, moving in irregular patterns, while the overall flow is in one direction. Turbulent flow is common in nonviscous fluids moving at high velocities. Compare laminar flow. |
