Navigating the Invisible: Exploring the Science and Applications of Wind and Turbulence

Jonathan Whale

Wind and turbulence are invisible forces that have intrigued and influenced humanity since time immemorial. From the gentle breeze that rustles leaves to the powerful gusts that shape landscapes, these phenomena play a vital role in shaping our planet's weather patterns and impacting various aspects of our lives. In this article, we delve into the science behind wind and turbulence and explore their diverse applications across different fields. Wind turbulence generally refers to rapid fluctuations in wind velocity. One of two factors or a combination of both causes these fluctuations. The first comes as a result of the frictional force occurring between the moving air and the Earth's surface.
