- the act, fact, or amount of diverging: a divergence in opinion.
- (in physics, meteorology, etc.) the total amount of flux escaping an infinitesimal volume at a point in a vector field, as the net flow of air from a given region.
- a turning motion of the eyeballs outward in relation to each other.
- the spreading of a stream of electrons resulting from their mutual electrostatic repulsion.
- the act or result of diverging or the amount by which something diverges
- the condition of being divergent
- the outflowing of airstreams from a particular area, caused by expanding air
- maths
- the scalar product of the operator, ∇, and a vector function, A, where ∇= i ∂/∂ x + j ∂/∂ y + k ∂/∂ z, and i, j, and k are unit vectors. Usually written: div A, ∇ A, or ∇A.
- the property of being divergent
- the spreading of a stream of electrons as a result of their mutual electrostatic repulsion
- the turning of the eyes outwards in order to fixate an object farther away than that previously being fixated
- the evolutionary development of structures or organisms that differ from each other in form and function but have evolved from the same basic structure or organism
