1. To combine two or more substances so that they become a single substance.
2. To meet or to bring other people into social situations and to talk to them.
3. Combining or blending elements into one mass or mixture.
4. Created or formed by having combined ingredients.

1. The process of mixing molten metals or alloys by applying an electromagnetic field to produce eddies (movements in streams of fluids in which the currents double back on themselves causing miniature whirlpools).
2. The mixing of molten alloys by exposing the melt to a strong magnetic field while passing direct electrical current between electrodes at opposite ends of the crucible.

The stirring action results from an interaction of the magnetic field of the current-carrying molten alloy with the external transverse magnetic field.

1. The bombardment of a substance with high-energy ions so as to cause the intermixing of atoms of two different phases in the near-surface region.
2. A process in which bombardment of a solid with a beam of energetic ions causes the intermixing of atoms of two separate phases originally present in the near-surface region.

Various processes that operate in the ocean to equalize the distribution of heat, salt, various chemicals, and pollutants: Winds, currents and surface waves are all involved in ocean mixing to balance the circulation of different elements that enter the ocean waters at various rates and in different locations.

The rate of ocean mixing affects the extent to which carbon dioxide is exchanged between the atmosphere and the oceans.

Chaotic, non-uniform motions of water or air through the effects of wind, currents, eddies, etc.: Turbulent mixing serves to transport heat, momentum, and other properties.
