entrainment
- noun
- /ɪnˈtreɪnmənt/
- Specialized
- Any change in the factors affecting entrainment necessitates further entrainment time or eliminating that group from the experiment if re-entrainment is not possible before the experimental process begins.

This is primarily accomplished by ensuring the entrainment of source water organisms during floc formation and providing adequate time for floc growth and sedimentation.

At flow rates lower than peak values, water entrainment occurs, leading to pitting and corrosion, especially at the 6 o'clock position of the flowline.

However, change in group membership, change in projects/tasks, and/or change in operating conditions can disrupt entrainment; thus, if any of these factors are altered, a natural group is not present until the group can become re-entrained.

The lower panel illustrates the entrainment of debris (black) by icebergs and the subsequent sedimentation of the debris in the deep North Atlantic.

* (Once-through cooling was recently banned in CA due to potential effects on sea life; the effects are not radiation but entrainment in the inflow and the effect of raising the local seawater temperature.)

Increased pelagic productivity in leeward areas may be a function of localized upwelling and larval entrainment, driven by persistent (northeasterly) trade winds (McGary, 1955).

This process analyzes the entrainment of source water organisms during floc formation to ensure efficient sedimentation.

Morphology
entrainment = entrain (semi-transparent) = en + train + ment
Derived from the technical verb 'entrain' meaning 'to carry along'; the composition is morphologically regular but the sense is specialized in fluid dynamics.
Etymology
Entrainment comes from the French entraîner, with en- ('in') and train ('to pull'), like dust or drops getting swept up by a passing train. That picture helps: in science entrainment is when particles are caught and carried along by a moving fluid.
