In this paper several specific features of computer turbulence is discussed. This phenomena occurs in problems of mathematical physics where the exact solutions have smooth dynamics, but their discrete analogs (numerical approximations) lead to the emergence, at a certain time, of the ``Brownian dynamics. This is usually considered as the result of incorrect calculations caused by the discretization of the original (continuous) problems. On the other hand these models may give a more adequate description of the material world then the continuous models, and in this case this phenomena is called computer turbulence. In particular, it can be understand as the phenomenon that occurs in discrete models of mathematical physics characterized by the emergence of Brownian-like dynamics at a certain time. In this paper several examples are given and discussed. The computer tunnelling effect is addressed.
