Although imperfect, a simple definition of turbulence as a dissipative flow state characterized by nonlinear fluctuating three-dimensional vorticity
Inverse cascade suppression and shear-layer formation in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence subject to a guide field and misaligned rotation
In large-scale geophysical systems, the existence of stratification and the Coriolis acceleration severely restricts vertical motion and leads to chaotic flow that may be nearly two dimensional or geostropic
