Thermal diffusivity
Rate of heat spread through materials.
eddy diffusivity
magnetic diffusivity
The magnetic diffusivity controls the rate of magnetic field diffusion.
Mass diffusivity
Diffusivity, mass diffusivity or diffusion coefficient is usually written as the proportionality constant between the molar flux due to molecular diffusion and the negative value of the gradient in the concentration of the species.
