Investigation of the silica budget for the Upper and Lower Geyser Basins of Yellowstone National Park by Truesdell et al. suggest that the present fluxes of hotspring water and thermal energy may have been continuous for at least the past 10,000 yr.
(countable, uncountable) A state of ongoing change.
Her image has escaped the flux of things, / And that same infant beauty that she wore / Is fixed upon her now forevermore. 1856, Richard Chenevix Trench, On the Death of an Infant:
[…] her eldest son, now King Charles III, has assumed the monarch’s role[…]as the anchor of a nation’s identity in troubled times of change and flux. 2022 September 19, Alan Cowell, “From Coronation to Funeral: Bookends to the Life of a Queen, and a Generation”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:
Darwin recognized that just as the features of the inorganic world—deltas, river valleys, mountain chains—were brought into being by gradual change, the organic world similarly was subject to constant flux. 2014, Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, Picador, →ISBN, pages 55–56:
Languages, like our bodies, are in a continual flux.
The schedule is in flux at the moment.
(countable, uncountable) A chemical agent for cleaning metal prior to soldering or welding.
It is important to use flux when soldering or oxides on the metal will prevent a good bond.
(countable, uncountable) The rate of transfer of energy (or another physical quantity), especially an electric or magnetic field, through a given surface.
That high a neutron flux would be lethal in seconds.
(archaic, countable, uncountable) A disease which causes diarrhea, especially dysentery.
The next year vvas calamitous, bringing ſtrange fluxes upon men, and murren upon Cattel. 1670, John Milton, “The Sixth Book”, in The History of Britain, that Part Especially now Call’d England. […], London: […] J[ohn] M[acock] for James Allestry, […] , →OCLC, page 245:
(archaic, countable, uncountable) Diarrhea or other fluid discharge from the body.
(countable, uncountable) The state of being liquid through heat; fusion.
