Turbophoresis is a phenomenon observed in the study of particle transport in turbulent flows, where particles tend to migrate from regions of high turbulence to regions of lower turbulence. This effect is particularly relevant in a variety of fields such as atmospheric science, combustion, and industrial processes where particles are suspended in a fluid. In a turbulent flow, the fluctuations in velocity and the presence of vortices can create regions where particles are preferentially concentrated or depleted.
