Flux (4.2.2009)

Definitions of flux on the Web:

  • the rate of flow of energy or particles across a given surface
  • a flow or discharge
  • a substance added to molten metals to bond with impurities that can then be readily removed
  • excessive discharge of liquid from a cavity or organ (as in watery diarrhea)
  • a state of uncertainty about what should be done (usually following some important event) preceding the establishment of a new direction of action; "the flux following the death of the emperor"
