  2. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. [4]

  3. List of atmospheric dispersion models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atmospheric...

    MLDPn – Modèle Lagrangien de dispersion de particules d'ordre n is a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) developed by Environment Canada's Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC). This atmospheric and aquatic transport and dispersion model is designed to estimate air and water concentrations and ground deposition of pollutants for ...

  4. Particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle

    In the physical sciences, a particle (or corpuscule in older texts) is a small localized object which can be described by several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They vary greatly in size or quantity, from subatomic particles like the electron , to microscopic particles like atoms and molecules ...

  5. Colloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid

    A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, [1] while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels.

  6. Scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering

    Wine glass in LCD projectors light beam makes the beam scatter.. In physics, scattering is a wide range of physical processes where moving particles or radiation of some form, such as light or sound, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by localized non-uniformities (including particles and radiation) in the medium through which they pass.

  7. Particle-laden flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-laden_flow

    Particle-laden flows refers to a class of two-phase fluid flow, in which one of the phases is continuously connected (referred to as the continuous or carrier phase) and the other phase is made up of small, immiscible, and typically dilute particles (referred to as the dispersed or particle phase). Fine aerosol particles in air is an example of ...

  8. Roton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roton

    Roton dispersion relation, showing the quasiparticle energy E(p) as a function of momentum p. A quasiparticle with momentum generated in the local energy minimum is called a roton. In theoretical physics , a roton is an elementary excitation, or quasiparticle , seen in superfluid helium-4 and Bose–Einstein condensates with long-range dipolar ...

  9. Particle physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics

    Particle physics or high-energy physics is the study of fundamental particles and forces that constitute matter and radiation. The field also studies combinations of elementary particles up to the scale of protons and neutrons , while the study of combination of protons and neutrons is called nuclear physics .
