    An important related theorem is the Birkhoff Transitivity Theorem. It is easy to see that the existence of a dense orbit implies topological transitivity. The Birkhoff Transitivity Theorem states that if X is a second countable , complete metric space , then topological transitivity implies the existence of a dense set of points in X that have ...

    This is an important area of research in this field, and a major goal of the modern theory of turbulence is to understand what is universal in the inertial range, and how to deduce intermittency properties from the Navier-Stokes equations, i.e. from first principles.

    Even in the most severe turbulence, fatalities are extremely rare; the most recent incident I can find was in December 1997 aboard a United Airlines flight from Tokyo to Honolulu, in which one ...

  9. Tollmien–Schlichting wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollmien–Schlichting_wave

    With further increase in flow rate, there is an explosion into turbulence, with many random vortices and the noise of aerodynamic sound. Schubauer and Skramstad overlooked the significance of the co-generation of transverse SH sound by the T-S waves in transition and turbulence.
