Extract

Turbulent motion in open air must be studied in a way differing from that followed in laboratory experiments. We cannot choose or arrange for the most suitable conditions; we have to make the best of what nature offers; it is nearly impossible to stain air masses sufficiently so that they show streamlines-we have to judge their possible form from complicated effects. The results arrived at will depend upon the means at one's disposal and the way pursued.
