Chaotic streamlines in pre-turbulent states

Nature volume 337, pages 133–137 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

Various patterns arise in hydrodynamic systems during the approach to turbulence. Under a wide range of conditions, these patterns have a symmetry typical of crystals or quasicrystals. Pattern elements (cells) are divided by thin layers which form a web, within which the streamlines are chaotic. The web represents channels along which particle transport occurs in lattice structures that are associated with dynamical chaos.
