Question about research internship

So I just started working in the math fluids lab at my university. I really like what I'll be doing, but is it normal for me to have no remote idea of the advanced concepts my mentors/grad students are working on? I'm a rising senior, but most of their work is completely beyond me. Interns don't have to do a lot of the 'mental work', do they?

Just out of curiosity, are you guys trying to characterize and model turbulent flow? What are the details of your research thrust?
