Eddy diffusion

Index Eddy diffusion

Eddy diffusion, eddy dispersion, multipath, or turbulent diffusion is any diffusion process by which substances are mixed in the atmosphere or in any fluid system due to eddy motion. [1]

7 relations: Atmosphere, Diffusion, Eddy (fluid dynamics), IUPAC books, Kolmogorov microscales, Ocean gyre, Turbulence.

Atmosphere

An atmosphere is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body.

Diffusion

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration (or high chemical potential) to a region of low concentration (or low chemical potential) as a result of random motion of the molecules or atoms.

Eddy (fluid dynamics)

In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime.

IUPAC books

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry publishes many books, which contain its complete list of definitions.

Kolmogorov microscales

Kolmogorov microscales are the smallest scales in turbulent flow.

Ocean gyre

In oceanography, a gyre is any large system of circulating ocean currents, particularly those involved with large wind movements.

Turbulence

In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is any pattern of fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity.
