point source
- In experimental studies of atmospheric turbulence and diffusion, a source of particulate matter from a single fixed point.
There are continuous and instantaneous point sources. The analogous concepts of line source and plane source are also frequently encountered.
- In hydrodynamics, a source of mass, that is, a singular point in the field where the equation of continuity fails.
