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.

Famous quotes containing the word flow:
“Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely that which all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
