Turbulence

a linear theory of how turbulence responds to distortion by a mean flow that acts faster than the turbulence can interact with itself.

In turbulence, rapid distortion theory refers to a linear theory of how turbulence responds to distortion by a mean flow that acts faster than the turbulence can interact with itself. This meaning comes from Batchelor (1954) in The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics.[1]
