pseudochannel

noun6

1. •
   One division of an actual channel into multiple theoretical channels, one per opening, to represent flow through openings into sidestreams.

   • This method requires that pseudochannel boundaries be located in the flow reach upstream from each of the openings to simulate the actual upstream boundaries of the single-opening constriction. — 1958
2. •
   One of multiple orthorectified images for a single location, each representing a different DEM (digital elevation model).

   • As a result, multispectral orthorectified images were created, each containing the respective DEM as a separate pseudochannel. — 2014
3. •
   A virtual channel included in the mathematical model of electron collisions to account for excluded states when using the Matrix Effective Potential (MEP) method.

   • For such potentials the imaginary part of the potential causes a loss of flux from the incident channel and plays a comparable role to the pseudochannel of the MEP. — 1981
4. •
   Any data channel that is introduced as a theoretical pathway that does not correspond to a physical channel.

   • All data to and from primary memory in the IBM/360 model 30 are transmitted over 8-bit (plus parity) data paths including the pseudochannels. — 1986
5. •
   A theoretical channel representing the pathway by which a chemical agent interacts with a receptor site.

   • […] into three-dimensional hydrogen bond frameworks featuring three-dimensional intersecting pseudochannels. — 2004
6. •
   A subparallel feature consisting of a central core of undeformed strata, roughly U-shaped in cross section and cigar-shaped in plan, embedded in finer grained material.

   • The large pseudochannel seen in cross section in the center of the photograph is surrounded by a multitude of smaller pseudochannels. — 1964
