The term diverging meniscus refers to the shape of a liquid surface that is curved upwards at its edges when it is in contact with a solid surface. There are several synonyms for this phenomenon, including convex meniscus, out-turned meniscus, and positive meniscus. These terms describe the same physical effect, which occurs due to differences in surface tension between the liquid and solid materials. The shape of the meniscus can provide important information about the properties of the liquid and the solid surface, and it is often studied in scientific research and engineering applications. Whether referred to as a diverging meniscus or by one of its synonyms, this phenomenon is an important aspect of interfacial science.
