TED-Ed: Tomás Chor: Turbulence: one of the great unsolved mysteries of physics

Turbulence is a complex and ubiquitous phenomenon affecting various systems with moving fluids. It involves chaotic flows and is influenced by forces like inertia and viscosity. The Reynolds number helps measure the likelihood of turbulence. Despite its prevalence, predicting turbulence remains challenging due to its sensitivity to disruptions and the influence of external factors. Advances in computing may aid in developing a unified theory. Understanding turbulence could lead to significant benefits, such as improved weather prediction and more efficient energy systems.
