where = / has units of velocity and is called the Darcy velocity (or the specific discharge, filtration velocity, or superficial velocity). The pore or interstitial velocity is the average velocity of fluid molecules in the pores; it is related to the Darcy velocity and the porosity through the Dupuit-Forchheimer relationship
Interstitial atoms (blue) occupy some of the spaces within a lattice of larger atoms (red) In materials science, an interstitial defect is a type of point crystallographic defect where an atom of the same or of a different type, occupies an interstitial site in the crystal structure.
Interstitial cystitis; Interstitial fauna, small aquatic invertebrates, larger than microfauna but smaller than macrofauna; Interstitial fluid, a solution that bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals; Interstitial deletion and duplication in genetics, see Deletion (genetics) § Types and Gene duplication; Interstitial ...
For example, along the grain boundaries and certain crystalline defects such as dislocations there is more open space, thereby allowing for a lower activation energy for diffusion. Atomic diffusion in polycrystalline materials is therefore often modeled using an effective diffusion coefficient , which is a combination of lattice, and grain ...
where is the diffusivity of the solute atom in the host material, is the atomic volume, is the velocity of the dislocation, is the diffusion flux density, and is the solute concentration. [5] The existence of the Cottrell atmosphere and the effects of viscous drag have been proven to be important in high temperature deformation at intermediate ...
In crystallography, interstitial sites, holes or voids are the empty space that exists between the packing of atoms (spheres) in the crystal structure. [ citation needed ] The holes are easy to see if you try to pack circles together; no matter how close you get them or how you arrange them, you will have empty space in between.
Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the concentration. It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low ...
Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium and through a Hele-Shaw cell.The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on results of experiments [1] on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences.
