The CORRECT answer is (a) True

For explanation: The turbulence can be predicted by a dimensionless constant called Reynolds number, which calculates the balance between kinetic energy and viscous DAMPING in a fluid flow. However, turbulence has long resisted detailed PHYSICAL ANALYSIS, and the INTERACTIONS within turbulence create a very complex situation.
