/flɒk/ · noun
A floccule; a soft or fluffy particle suspended in a liquid, or the fluffy mass of suspended particles so formed..
It might seem that Mr. Holl, whose initial sketches are glorious watercolors, was an unlikely candidate for a job that is all about hydrodynamics. But he credits much of his inspiration to repeated meetings with engineers -- as many as 30 at a time -- to discuss topics like "flocculation" (the process by which particles form coagulated masses, or flocs).
