Never heard of it.
Are you making reference to a video game or something?
http://www.google.com/search?q="per+turn"+acceleration

Could it mean an increment in velocity for each turn of play in a game?
(I'm not a video gamer...) or for each complete orbit?
that is the place where from I quoted. my problem is which is the highest acceleration obtained in practice?
 
What does the word "turn" mean in this context?
 
It's a science fiction game conversion website as can be seen from it's URL. Therfore a turn is most likely a game turn.

[add]
The game system is called "Rifts" (see the bottom of the webpage) - thus the website is a description of how to implement Babylon-5 (a TV show) in the "Rifts" game system.
