  2. Packet aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_aggregation

    Packet aggregation is useful in situations where each transmission unit may have significant overhead (preambles, headers, cyclic redundancy check, etc.) or where the expected packet size is small compared to the maximum amount of information that can be transmitted.

  3. Particle aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_aggregation

    Since absolute aggregation rates are difficult to measure, one often refers to the dimensionless stability ratio W, defined as = where k fast is the aggregation rate coefficient in the fast regime, and k the coefficient at the conditions of interest. The stability ratio is close to unity in the fast regime, increases in the slow regime, and ...

  4. Stream bed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_bed

    The nature of any streambed is always a function of the flow dynamics and the local geologic materials. The climate of an area will determine the amount of precipitation a stream receives and therefore the amount of water flowing over the streambed. A streambed is usually a mix of particle sizes which depends on the water velocity and the ...

  5. Aggradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggradation

    The river is flowing on bedrock in the upper image, but because sediment was deposited over time the riverbed has risen. This has caused the house to be buried in the lower image. Aggradation (or alluviation ) is the term used in geology for the increase in land elevation, typically in a river system, due to the deposition of sediment.

  6. DLVO theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLVO_theory

    In 1923, Peter Debye and Erich Hückel reported the first successful theory for the distribution of charges in ionic solutions. [7] The framework of linearized Debye–Hückel theory subsequently was applied to colloidal dispersions by S. Levine and G. P. Dube [8] [9] who found that charged colloidal particles should experience a strong medium-range repulsion and a weaker long-range attraction.

  7. Stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream

    Direct observation or compelling evidence suggests that there is no interruption in the flow at ground. The existence of one or more specific features of the perennial streams, including: Riverbed forms, for example, riffles, pools, runs, gravel bars, other depositional characteristics, bed armor layer. Riverbank erosion and/or polishment.

  8. Diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion

    Bulk motion, or bulk flow, is the characteristic of advection. [1] The term convection is used to describe the combination of both transport phenomena. If a diffusion process can be described by Fick's laws, it is called a normal diffusion (or Fickian diffusion); Otherwise, it is called an anomalous diffusion (or non-Fickian diffusion).

  9. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    In aqueous solution chemistry and precipitates ageing, the term refers to the growth of larger crystals from those of smaller size which have a higher solubility than the larger ones. In the process, many small crystals formed initially ( nuclei ) slowly disappear, except for a few that grow larger, at the expense of the small crystals ...
