WordDefinition
hyperentropynounA measure of the uncertainty of the entropy of a system
variancenounA difference between what is expected and what is observed; deviation.
vortensitynoun(physics) The ratio of vorticity to density of a rotating fluid.
vorticitynoun(mathematics, fluid dynamics) A property of a fluid flow related to local angular rotation; defined as the curl of the flow's velocity field.
fluctuation theoremnounA theorem dealing with the relative probability that the entropy of a system that is currently away from thermodynamic equilibrium (i.e. maximum entropy) will increase or decrease over a given amount of time.
entropynounA measure of the disorder present in a system.
potential vorticitynoun(meteorology) a quantity which is proportional to the product of vorticity and stratification. When applied to air parcels, aids the understanding of cyclogenesis

enstrophynoun(physics) A measure of the kinetic energy of a fluid as a result of turbulence.
information entropynoun(information theory) A measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable; a measure of the average information content one is missing when one does not know the value of the random variable (usually in units such as bits); the amount of information (measured in, say, bits) contained per average instance of a character in a stream of characters.
negentropynoun(thermodynamics) The difference between the entropy of a system and the maximum possible entropy of the same system.
velocitynoun(physics) A vector quantity that denotes the rate of change of position with respect to time, combining speed with a directional component.
temperaturenounA measure of cold or heat, often measurable with a thermometer.
degree of freedomnoun(physics) Any of the coordinates, a minimum number of which are needed to specify the motion of a mechanical system.
ectropynoun(thermodynamics) The overall increase in the organization of a system
timenoun(uncountable) The inevitable progression into the future with the passing of present and past events.
isoentropenoun(physics) A region having equal entropy throughout, or a curve joining points of equal entropy.
velocity potentialnoun(fluid mechanics, of an inviscid irrotational flow) A scalar potential function relating to the flow’s velocity distribution, defined as ϕ=∇⃑V.
von neumann entropynoun(quantum mechanics) The entropy of a quantum state. If the state is expressed as a quantum density matrix ρ, then this entropy can be expressed mathematically as S=-tr(ρ log ρ) where tr is the trace operator and the logarithm is natural.
