[ หˆtษœห.bjษ™.lษ™ns ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

weather

Turbulence refers to irregular air movements that can occur during flights, often caused by atmospheric conditions such as thunderstorms, high winds, or temperature changes. It can result in sudden changes in altitude and speed, leading to discomfort for passengers and crew.

Synonyms

air pocket, chop, rough air

Examples of usage

  • The pilot warned the passengers to fasten their seatbelts due to expected turbulence.
  • The flight encountered severe turbulence over the mountainous region.
Context #2 | Noun

physics

In physics, turbulence is the chaotic and unpredictable flow of a fluid. It is characterized by rapid changes in velocity and pressure, often leading to swirling patterns and eddies. Turbulence plays a crucial role in various natural phenomena, such as weather patterns, ocean currents, and airflow around objects.

Synonyms

chaos, disorder, tumult

Examples of usage

  • The scientist studied the turbulence created by the river's rapid flow.
  • Turbulence can affect the efficiency of aircraft engines.
