That said, I agree that the geometry of a block can improve turbulence, with everything else constant, but keep in mind that turbulence do not cause higher velocity, but the it's the other way around.

sorry just could not resist....
so to sum it all up....
Turbulence is a result of high velocity....
high velocity is a result of forcing a lot of slow moving stuff through a small hole...
a small hole is a result of the design.
design got cut&pasted from Pro cooling forums...
as per usual....
what I'm saying is.... area and velocity is not the goals, it should not be the goals... those are the tell tale side effects of a good design aimed at increased turbulence. turbulent flow is what you want.... the rest will be there by definition of the science involved.
