coagulations
Fluid solidification processes
Coagulations are instances of thickening or clotting, particularly of liquids becoming semi-solid.
Blood coagulations form at wound sites to stop bleeding.
The term appears in medical and scientific contexts describing the process or its results: The lab tested for abnormal coagulations in the sample.
Figuratively, any gradual solidifying or coming together of dispersed elements.
