- a series of outflows from a common point. A dispersal is, primarily a number of
flows extending from a common center. The best example of a dispersal is an
explosion. There is such a thing as an in-dispersal. This would be where the flows
are all traveling toward a common center. One might call this an implosion. Outflow and
inflow from a common center are classified under the word dispersal. (Scn 8-8008,
