nonuniformity
- noun
- /ˌnɒnˈjunɪˌfɔːrmɪti/
- The parameter for describing the degree of complexity is the Reynolds number Re = LU/Nu, where U is the typical nonuniformity in velocity, L is the size of a region in which the nonuniformity occurs, and Nu is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid in question.

Morphology
nonuniformity = nonuniform (transparent) = non + uniform + ity
Forming a noun from the adjective 'nonuniform' with the productive suffix '-ity' yields the clear meaning 'the state of not being uniform'.
Etymology
Nonuniformity starts with non- meaning 'not' and includes uniform, which comes from uni- 'one' and form 'shape', so it literally means 'not one shape'. So, nonuniformity describes the quality of being not the same and having variety.
