    I have dream’d
    Of bloody turbulence; and this whole night
    Hath nothing been but forms of slaughter. William Shakespeare.

    Oft-times noxious where they light
    On man, beast, plant, wasteful and turbulent,
    Like turbulencies in the affairs of men,
    Over whose heads they roar, and seem to point:
    They oft foresignify and threaten ill. John Milton.

    I come to calm thy turbulence of mind,
    If reason will resume her sov’reign sway. Dryden.

    You think this turbulence of blood,
    From stagnating preserves the flood,
    Which thus fermenting by degrees,
    Exalts the spirits, sinks the lees. Jonathan Swift.

  1. turbulency

    Turbulency, also commonly referred to as turbulence, is a state or phenomenon in which there is unsteady, random, and chaotic movement in a fluid - such as air, water, gas, or plasma. This could be due to factors like differences in temperature, pressure, velocity, or changes in the flow field. It's typically characterized by swirling eddies and irregular fluctuations. Turbulence can also metaphorically describe a state of confusion, instability, or disorder in a specific context or situation.
