Turbulent Schmidt Number

Famous quotes containing the words turbulent and/or number:

    Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs?—No—no, ‘tis your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
