| Alfven velocity | <physics, radiobiology> Phase velocity of the Alfven wave, equal to the speed of light divided by the square root of (1 plus the ratio of the plasma frequency to the cyclotron frequency for a given species). Va = c / SQRT(1 + plasma frequency / cyclotron frequency) (13 Nov 1997) |

| Alfven ion cyclotron instability | <radiobiology> An electromagnetic microinstability near the ion cyclotron frequency, driven by the ion loss cone in a mirror device. Acronym: AIC (13 Nov 1997) |
| Alfven waves | <physics, radiobiology> Transverse electromagnetic waves that are propagated along lines of magnetic force in a plasma. The waves have frequency significantly less than the ion cyclotron frequency, and are characterised by the fact that the field lines oscillate (wiggle) with the plasma. The propagation velocity depends on the particle density and the strength of the magnetic field. [Relatively] Low frequency ion oscillation in the presence of an equilibrium magnetic field. Also called the transverse hydromagnetic wave along B_0. The torsional Alfven wave in cylindrical geometry was first measured in liquid mercury by B. Lehnert. Alfven waves were first generated and detected in plasma by Allen, Baker, Pyle, and Wilcox in Berkeley and by Jephcott in England in 1959. (13 Nov 1997) |

| blood flow velocity | A value equal to the total volume flow divided by the cross-sectional area of the vascular bed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| velocity | The time rate of motion, the distance traveled divided by the time required to travel that distance. (09 Oct 1997) |
| velocity coefficient | The rate of transformation of a unit mass of substance in a chemical reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velocity constants | Proportionality constants equal to the initial rate of a reaction divided by the concentration of the reactant(s); e.g., in the reaction A → B + C, the rate of the reaction equals -d[A]/dt = k1[A]. The rate constant k1 is a unimolecular rate constant since there is only one molecular species reacting and has units of reciprocal time (e.g., sec-1). For the reverse reaction, B + C → A, the rate equals -d[B]/dt = d[A]/dt = k2[B][C]. The rate constant k2 is a bimolecular rate constant and has units of reciprocal concentration-time (e.g., m-1 sec-1). Synonym: velocity constants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velocity space | <radiobiology> Mathematical space where each point corresponds not to a certain location in reality, but to a certain velocity. Distribution functions typically involve mixes of both position and velocity spaces. (See distribution function.) Contrast with position space where each point corresponds to a given location. (09 Oct 1997) |
| velocity space instability | <radiobiology> A class of instabilities driven by particle distributions (in velocity space) which are not in thermal equilibrium. (09 Oct 1997) |
| maximum velocity | The maximum rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction that can be achieved by progressively increasing the substrate concentration at a given enzyme concentration; in cases of substrate inhibition, Vmax is an extrapolated value in the absence of such inhibition; Cf.: Michaelis-Menten equation. The maximum initial rate of shortening of a myocardial fibre that can be obtained under zero load; used to evaluate the contractility of the fibre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group velocity | <radiobiology> This is derived from the dispersion relation as Vgroup = dw/dk, the group velocity is the rate at which modulations or information within a wave travel through a given medium. (09 Oct 1997) |
| critical velocity | <biology> The maximum speed a device or organism can sustain over a specified distance or length of time, or the maximum velocity against which device or organism can sustain a position over a specified length of time. <marine biology> Velocity through which a fish will not swim, creating a velocity barrier. (09 Oct 1997) |
| sedimentation velocity | The rate of movement of a substance, typically a macromolecule, in centrifugation; these centrifugation studies provide data on the structure of the macromolecule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| steady-state velocity | The velocity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in which, over the time course of the study, the concentration of any enzyme species is constant (i.e., for an enzyme-substrate binary complex, ES, d[ES]/dt&apprxeq;00; for this to hold true, the total enzyme concentration must be much less than the initial substrate concentration. Synonym: steady-state rate. (05 Mar 2000) |
