Viscous-convective subrange

  "term": "Viscous-convective subrange",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A range of spatial scales in a turbulent fluid where the dissipation of temperature variance is caused by both molecular viscosity and thermal diffusivity. This subrange lies at the small-scale end of the inertial-convective subrange, just before the scales where viscous effects completely dominate thermal effects. The Batchelor scale, which characterizes the smallest eddies of a scalar field before it is smoothed out by molecular diffusion, marks the lower boundary of this subrange.",
