  "term": "Velocity entrainment",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process by which a moving fluid, such as an air current, incorporates and carries along surrounding fluid that was initially at rest or moving at a different velocity. This occurs due to turbulent mixing and momentum transfer at the boundaries of the moving fluid. Entrainment is a key process in the growth and dilution of cumulus clouds and plumes.",
