Turbulence does not imply chaotic motion
[edit]From the first line of the article:
Quantum turbulence is the name given to the turbulent flow – the chaotic motion of a fluid at high flow rates – of quantum fluids, such as superfluids which have been cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero.
However, it is still an unknown question whether or not turbulence implies chaos (for example, as characterized by Lyapunov exponents). If we're using the layman's definition of chaos, I suppose it fits, but it's unconcise language for an article in physics.
