  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
CONT

At a given stage of the cascade of bifurcations the set of frequencies ... can be determined, at least in principle, but the set of phases ... remains a function of initial conditions and, as such, completely out of control. Turbulence is then the regime reached after an infinite number of such oscillatory bifurcations.

  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
CONT

À un stade donné de la cascade de bifurcations l'ensemble des fréquences [...] peut être déterminé, du moins en principe, mais l'ensemble des phases [...] reste une fonction inconnue des conditions initiales et, par suite, hors de contrôle. La turbulence serait donc le régime atteint après accumulation d'une infinité de telles bifurcations oscillantes.
