Abstract
The possibility for the occurrence in crystals of a phenomenon, resembling turbulence, is discussed. This phenomenon, called heterophase turbulence, i s manifested by the fluctuational. appearance inside a crystalline sample o f disordered regions randomly distributed in space. The averaged picture fo r such a turbulent solid is exemplified by an exactly solvable lattice-gas model. The origin of heterophase turbulence is connected with stochastic in stability of quasi-isolated systems.
