Do birds experience turbulence like airplanes?
A3: The simple answer to this question is yes. But, I am here not to just give you a simple up or down type answer; I am here to educate you on the mysterious processes that affect us everyday. I am going to try not to ‘dork out’ on you with any differential calculus or anything, but turbulence is a matter of fluid mechanics and physics. Turbulence is a very general term, which describes flow that is stochastic and not laminar—rough not smooth. Additionally, it is an organization that supports the commissioning and supporting of “Net Art”, www.turbulence.org. Back to the issue at hand—Turbulent flow is created from many sources including differences in pressure and temperature, molecular structure and diffusive properties, and is a topic that makes physicists either cringe or salivate. The turbulence experience while flying in an airplane is called “Clear Air Turbulence” because it is not visible like other types of chaotic flow (like a river rapids or smoke in the air).
