This lecture introduces the concept of turbulence and symmetry in fluid dynamics, focusing on the effects of increasing Reynolds number on flow patterns. The instructor discusses the symmetries present in small Reynolds number velocity fields and their impact on left-right and up-down flow directions. Various examples, such as flow past a cylinder, are used to illustrate these concepts.
