Is it possible for the phenomenon of turbulence – eddys and vortices on many scales – to occur in spacetime in the context of General Relativity? For example near a Kerr black hole.

If not, what is different about the governing equations of GR, vs those of fluid dynamics, that determines this?

    $\begingroup$ For example near a Kerr black hole. The Kerr metric has no time-dependence at all (at least not in Boyer–Lindquist or Kerr–Schild coordinates). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Does this answer your question? Turbulent spacetime from Einstein equation? $\endgroup$
