diffusion diagram

diffusion diagram

[də′fyü·zhən ‚dī·ə‚gram]
(meteorology)
A diagram for displaying the comparative properties of various diffusion processes, with coordinates of the mean free path or mixing length and mean molecular speed or diffusion velocity, for molecular or eddy diffusion, respectively; each point of the diagram determines diffusivity.

From the results obtained this far it can be concluded that, in order to exhibit power-law dependence of the diffusion coefficient with EV (i.e., with [alpha] > 1), the nonhomogeneous diffusion diagram must accomplish two necessary conditions: (i) it must possess more than one path and (ii) it must at least possess one path with more than one transition.
