This process is superficially similar to the action of viscosity which tends to smooth out momentum gradients by molecular interactions, and turbulent flows are sometimes said to have an equivalent ...

And coming in at the top of the list (meaning the most turbulent flight route) is the route from Mendoza, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile. The eddy dissipation rate (EDR), which is essentially ...

At No. 1 is the flight between Mendoza, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile, which has an eddy dissipation rate (EDR)—EDR is a measurement of turbulence intensity—of 24.684. That’s a full 4 EDR ...
