For a species of particles (molecules, ions, atoms in a solid) the number density is the number of particles per unit volume around (in ; the molar concentration is ). The particle current density is the vector such that the number of particles crossing an oriented surface element in is (in ): the particle flux through a surface is , the number of particles per second through . For particles carried by a fluid moving at , (convection); diffusion is the transport that remains in a fluid at rest.
