I was specifically looking for something that discusses the actual particle behaviour, I couldn't quite get my head around the whole laminar and turbulent flow thing, everything just seemed to say it is one then magically becomes the other, but there was no phase change or anything like that, it just didn't wash with me.
This paper goes some way toward explaining some of these things,
overall written well and he does relate and explain a lot of everyday things and touches on some of the contradictions in fluid dynamics. Even though he has tried to simplify quite a bit, still very complex for a novice like myself.

Thanks. It takes me along time to get my head around it too. I have to read it over and over again
. I'll print this off and have a read.
