Wikipedia
Diffusivity

Diffusivity is a rate of diffusion, a measure of the rate at which particles or heat or fluids can spread.

It is measured differently for different mediums.

Diffusivity may refer to:

  • Thermal diffusivity, diffusivity of heat
  • Diffusivity of mass:
    • Mass diffusivity, molecular diffusivity (often called "diffusion coefficient")
    • Eddy diffusion, eddy diffusivity
  • Viscosity#Kinematic_viscosity, momentum diffusivity
  • Magnetic diffusivity

I suspect there are differences in diffusivity rates from ordinary water, and that could have long-term fatal effects, but .
