Abstract

Recent works, both theoretical and observational, have suggested that turbulence could play a non-negligible role in the broadening of emission lines in active galactic nuclei. The purpose of this note is to show how shock wave-turbulence interaction, under unsteady regime, can affect the broadening of emission lines.
