Inertial Flow
Unlike all other flows, inertial balance implies a uniform pressure field. In this idealisation:
- the flow is frictionless;
- no pressure gradient (and force) is present at all.
The only remaining action is the Coriolis force, which imparts curvature to the trajectory.

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)
