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:
“But even suppose blood should flow. Is there not a sort of blood shed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man’s real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death. I see this blood flowing now.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
