Colloid mill fluid dynamics inside the gap involve a thin, high-velocity fluid layer subjected to a steep shear rate gradient, often accompanied by localized turbulence and micro-eddies near the rotor surface. These flow conditions, combined with pressure fluctuations that can trigger mild cavitation, are what actually deliver the mechanical energy needed to disrupt particles and droplets during processing.
