Even Roman Blackwood convention has several variations, revolving around 5 ♥ and 5 ♠ responses. In all variants, they denote 2 aces. One variation is that 5 ♠ shows extra values, while 5 ♥ does not.

Turbulent flow is defined as the flow in which the system's inertial forces are dominant over the viscous forces.

Responses are given in the style of Roman Key Card Blackwood and may be based on a key-suit king instead of one of the aces normally shown. Key suits include: [5] the trump suit, any genuine side suit bid and supported, or; any suit bid by a player whose partner's first bid was in notrump.

A further relay bid may follow to inquire about the number of kings held. Gerber is used primarily after notrump openings, responses, and rebids, making it a complement to Blackwood rather than a replacement.
3 ♦ or higher, etc. on up the line. With ace-showing responses, the responder bids the suit of the Ace, 2NT with two or more kings, and 2 ♦ with a king or less. With (unlikely) 2 aces, the responder bids 3 ♥. As a corollary, subsequent Blackwood by the opener asks for kings rather than aces.
