Abstract
This chapter presents convergent-divergent flow in the free atmosphere which is governed by the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and deals with the fundamental problem of fluid dynamics. Considering air movement under influence divergence and rotation were found the true dependencies between the velocity vector and the pressure distribution. Following the classical procedure by using rotor operator and a well-known formula of vector analysis were obtained the second kind nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations in a matrix form which contained only three components of the velocity vector. According to the theory of the matrix operators were defined the velocity components by the successive approximation method. According to the obtained balance equation for the pressure distribution were defined significant properties of the transient convergent-divergent flow which provide a description of the constitutive relationships between three physical quantities: the velocity vector, the external and internal forces, the pressure distribution.

Agitation, disorder and randomness in a flow. A turbulent flow is three dimensional in nature and is characterized by its mean velocity and amplitudes of fluctuating components of velocity. Typically turbulence is associated with greater momentum loss, less fouling effect, and enhanced heat transfer.
