{wiki=Particle_velocity}
Particle velocity refers to the velocity of individual particles in a medium, such as a solid, liquid, or gas, as they move or oscillate. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the context of various fields, particle velocity can have different implications: 1. **Fluid Mechanics**: In fluid dynamics, particle velocity describes the speed and direction of fluid particles as they flow. This is crucial for understanding fluid behavior, turbulence, and flow patterns.
