difference between turbulence noise VOP and curl noise VOP?

I have a particle that is following a curve and tried 2 different vop noise which are :

Turbulence Noise VOP

Curl Noise VOP

to my velocity vector, Turbulence Noise VOP seems to make the particle shake whole body and Curl Noise VOP tends to keep the flow but add a curly noise to the flow.

Is that correct?

So, what could be a solid differency between ,

Turbulence Noise VOP

Curl Noise VOP

Anti-aliased Noise VOP

?

Anti-Aliased Noise (of type perlin, simplex, cell, etc) with or without Turbulence (a loop to add successively finer amounts of the same noise for roughness) is noise that generally goes from -1 to 1.

Turbulence Noise is generally Anti-Aliased Noise that is folded over (absolute value of anti-aliased noise) and generally goes from 0 to 1. It looks billowy or pillowy.

Curl Noise is non-divergent meaning that the noise has no “sinks” or “sources” and gives you a fluid-like motion when applied to particles velocity by itself won't impart any directionality which explains what you are seeing.
