How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T23036790 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Kolmogorov spectrum of turbulence
The Kolmogorov spectrum of turbulence is a fundamental theory in fluid dynamics that predicts how kinetic energy is distributed across different scales in fully developed turbulent flow, most famously yielding the −5/3 power law for the inertial subrange.
-
B.
Taylor microscale in turbulence
The Taylor microscale in turbulence is a characteristic length scale that quantifies the size of eddies where viscous dissipation begins to significantly affect turbulent motion, bridging the gap between large energy-containing eddies and the smallest dissipative scales.
-
C.
Turbulence: The Legacy of A. N. Kolmogorov
Turbulence: The Legacy of A. N. Kolmogorov is a comprehensive monograph on the theory of turbulence that examines and extends Andrey Kolmogorov’s foundational contributions to fluid dynamics and statistical physics.
-
D.
The Theory of Homogeneous Turbulence
The Theory of Homogeneous Turbulence is a classic monograph in fluid dynamics that provides a rigorous mathematical treatment of statistically uniform turbulent flows.
