turbulent flow
noun
- the flow of a fluid past an object such that the velocity at any fixed point in the fluid varies irregularly.
turbulent flow
noun
- 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
/ û′ə-əԳ /
- 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.

However, building on their earlier work, the team showed that fluids move through a pipe in a non-equilibrium phase transition, known as directed percolation, at the transition point between laminar and turbulent flow.
If the viscosity decreases, the fluid undergoes the transition from laminar to turbulent flow.
In fluid dynamics, a turbulent flow refers to an irregular flow whereby eddies, swirls and flow instabilities occur.
The turbulent flow punches a carrot-shaped pipe through the ground, ripping out chunks of deep subsurface rock, including some that are studded with diamonds.
The strengthening fields, in turn, generated their own turbulent flow of stellar material.
