"It reveals a deep and intuitive understanding of natural phenomena," said co-author Yongxiang Huang. "Van Gogh's precise representation of turbulence might be from studying the movement of clouds and the atmosphere or an innate sense of how to capture the dynamism of the sky."
St. Clair explained how van Gogh's technique allowed him to represent the movement of light across water or in the twinkling of stars, creating a shimmering effect.
In physics, turbulence relates to strong, sudden movements within air or water, usually marked by eddies and vortices. Physicists have struggled to mathematically describe turbulence.
