Similar to and sometimes encompassed by the general term Brownian motion, although best reserved for the translational motion of particles because of a fluctuating force on them, the average of which is zero.

Brownian rotation is a consequence of a fluctuating torque (with zero average) on particles as a consequence of random molecular collisions.


Similar to and sometimes encompassed by the general term Brownian motion, although best reserved for the translational motion of particles because of a fluctuating force on them, the average of which is zero.
