diffusion-limited aggregation [də′fyü·zhən ¦lim·əd·əd ag·rə′gā·shən]

(physics)

A mathematical model for particle aggregation processes, such as the growth of a metal deposit on an electrochemical cell, in which particles move according to a random walk process until they arrive at a certain fixed distance from the current aggregate, where they stick to it.
