The origin of the word Flow is from the Latin “Fluxus” which means “current or going from one side to another”, generally when the term flow is used, it is done to refer to the movement of something, focusing it above all from the point of view of liquid things, because they are the ones we mostly associate with the ability to flow, that is why flow is understood on the one hand as the movement that a fluid can experience, such as the flow of water, although from a broader perspective it is considered the action and effect of flowing (of anything), in addition to circulating, moving, running or sliding, any of these actions always doing it from one side to the other.
In most cases when the word flow is used it is to indicate the movement of a thing that is found in massive or abundant form, for example, the term is not commonly used to name the flow of a bird that despite the fact that It is in motion, it flies alone, but if to indicate the flow of a flock of birds that is migrating, it is therefore common to hear the flow of cars on a highway, the flow of people, the flow of money, which apart from being abundant is normally in circulation.
This term is used in many fields and in each of them with a different meaning, in the world of medicine it refers to those substances that sprout or secrete from the body as a flow of blood, although in the specialization of gynecology it is called vaginal discharge to that secretion that the vagina generally produces before and after sexual stimulation, this transparent fluid is the answer to female sexual arousal, and its main objective is to lubricate the genital area for better penetration, another moment in which this fluid usually appears is in some phases of menstruation. On the other hand, it is physics, there is the magnetic flow, in computing there is the work flow, in electricity there is talk of aluminous flux and radiant flux, and in different sciences such as mathematics, statistics and economics a flow diagram is used to explain many processes.
