outside the greenhouse. Therefore, the phenomenon of turbulence must be taken
into account (Norton et al. 2007).
If inertial effects are large enough with respect to viscous effects, then the flow
can be turbulent. Turbulence means that the instantaneous velocity varies at each
point in the flow field. The turbulent nature of the velocity can be explained
considering that the rate consists of the sum of two components, a main component
