Firstly, thank you for your response.

If you say that turbulence means moving violently.

Can it be used to describe the action of human being? For instance, she just gave me turbulent hand shake or he gave me turbulent hug.

If not, what other words would you suggest?

. . .she just gave me turbulent hand shake or he gave me turbulent hug.

'Turbulent' doesn't work like that.

'. . .a vigorous handshake' '. . .a crushing hug.'
