not, its not (necessarily). it is caused by viscous effects, and (thus) by strain effects. next, it also depends on the geometry. the best way to visualize this is by using the Reynolds numbers. if you do the math, youll find out that theoretically it is possible to have laminar effects at very high speeds. this is possible when the geometry (or characteristic diameter) is very small, or the viscosity is high

Turbulent flow the elements of a fluid appear to be mixing chaotically

The flow is initially laminar,then it turns turbulent after a short distance.

The turbulent flow of steam does nuclear fusion. This is from my PhD into Chemical Engineering at Sheffield University

The turbulent flow of steam turns water into helium, oxygen, heat and gamma wave radiation as it does molecular nuclear fusion.

Jeez, dude. You're everywhere. Do post on cute kitten videos too saying that feline play produces nuclear fusion as well?

Actually, if you calculate the Reynolds number of the air flowing around the jets they use for it, you'll find CHEMTRAILS are released in laminar flow, not turbulent.

Is this how CHEMTRAILS are dispersed??

turbulent flow is due to high velocity/flow rate
