Axisymmetric turbulence

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003759",
  "term": "Axisymmetric turbulence",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Turbulent fluid motion where the statistical properties of the turbulence are invariant under rotation about a specific axis. This implies that the average characteristics of the turbulent eddies are the same in all directions perpendicular to the axis. It is a theoretical idealization used in studying certain types of atmospheric boundary layer flows or vortex structures.",
