Statistical Theory and Modeling for Turbulent
Flows (2nd Edition, 2011) – Solutions Manual –
by Durbin
What is turbulence? - answer-Turbulence is a type of fluid flow that is choppy, irregular, and
chaotic.
Where can turbulence occur besides water and air? - answer-Turbulence can occur in a person's
bloodstream.
What causes turbulent blood flow in arteries? - answer-Plaque buildup narrows arteries,
increasing friction and creating turbulence.
Why is turbulent blood flow dangerous? - answer-It can damage blood cells and cause clots that
may lead to heart attacks or strokes.
List one rule of the particle theory of matter. - answer-All matter is made of tiny particles.
(Other correct answers: particles move constantly, have spaces between them, attract each
other, and move faster when heated.)
What does the particle theory of matter explain? - answer-How and why fluids behave the way
they do.
What happens when a liquid evaporates? - answer-It changes into a gas and spreads out.
Do gases have a definite shape or volume? - answer-No, gases have neither a definite shape nor
