- In audio mastering, a separation is a single track containing one or more major song elements. When all separations are recombined, the 2-track mix is recreated (see Separation mastering).
- In descriptive set theory, the separation property for a pointclass allows separating two disjoint sets in the pointclass by another set in the same pointclass.
- In topology, the separation axioms are properties that topological spaces may have which tell roughly how many open sets can contain two points.
- In fluid mechanics, separation refers to a phenomenon where a fluid flows along a surface for some distance, but due to adverse pressure gradients, flows away from the surface rather than following it further. In other words, it is what happens when the Coanda Effect can no longer make a fluid "stick" to a surface. Examples are a wing stall, and the separation along the sides of bluff bodies which lead to wake formation and pressure drag.
