Vorticity and Turbulence
Turbulence is an immense and controversial subject. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 present some ideas from turbulence theory that are relevant to flow in the oceans and atmosphere. In this chapter, we examine the connections between vorticity and turbulence. From ocean models that omit inertia, we turn to flows in which the inertia is a dominating factor. Vorticity is of central importance, and, in the case of threedimensional motion, we must take its vector character fully into account.
