Antitriptic Flow
Antitriptic flow describes a steady-state flow in a spatially varying pressure field when
- the entire pressure gradient exactly balances friction alone; and:
- all actions promoting curvature are neglected.
The name comes from the Greek words 'anti' (against, counter-) and 'triptein' (to rub) - meaning that this kind of flow proceeds by countering friction.
