analyzing the experimental data and constructing math.ematical
models of the processes under study, one has to rely rather on the
physical intuition than on the strict calculations. Now let us go
one step higher and explain the main title of the book. The
concepts of "laminary" and "turbulent" motions were first
introduced in hydrodynamics. Since the old days these concepts have
considerably broadened; now the laminar and the turbulent motions
have been discovered and investigated at all levels of description
of nonequilibrium processes in the open systems, from kinetics to
reaction diffusion. In any case, one of the principal
characteristics of the turbulent motion is the existence of a large
number of well-developed macroscopic degrees of freedom. For this
reason the turbulent motion is extremely complicated and to a large
extent unpredictable. As the laminar and the turbulent flows play
an important role in the processes of evolution in the open
systems, and in particular, in the processes of self-organization,
the need arises for assessing the relative degree of order of
laminar and turbulent motions, and also for comparing the degree of
order of various turbulent motions. Without being able to make such
estimates it will be impossible to determine whether the evolution
is going towards higher or towards lower organization when one
turbulent state is replaced by another.
