fluidized
Particles acting liquid
Fluidized describes a mass of solid particles suspended and flowing like a liquid when gas or liquid is forced through it.
A fluidized bed in industrial processes allows materials like sand or powder to behave as fluids, improving heat transfer and chemical reactions: The catalyst was fluidized to ensure uniform contact with the reactants.
