velocity

Speed of an object in a given direction, or how fast an object changes its position in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity, since its direction is important as well as its magnitude (or speed). For example, a car could have a speed of 48 kph/30 mph and a velocity of 48 kph/30 mph northwards. Velocity = change in position/time taken.

The velocity at any instant of a particle travelling in a curved path is in the direction of the tangent to the path at the instant considered. The velocity v of an object travelling in a fixed direction may be calculated by dividing the distance s it has travelled by the time t taken to do so, and may be expressed as: v = s/t

This implies that the diffusive source terms were retained in one direction only, namely in transverse one, and magnitudes of the average transverse velocity components of the gas- and dispersed phases were much less than those of the longitudinal components of the corresponding velocities of both phases.
