Flow

Tide

The movement of the tide generates a flow of water.

The concept of flow (a word derived from the Latin fluxus ) gives its name to the act and consequence of flowing (understood as a synonym for sprouting, running or circulating). The word is used, for example, to describe the moment when the tide moves .

Examples: “The flow of water was unstoppable and destroyed all the defenses,” “After hearing the sentence, the victim's brother approached the press and unleashed an uncontrollable flow of harsh words.”

Magnetic flux and luminous flux

Likewise, it is known as magnetic flux as it allows us to evaluate the level of magnetism, which is deduced based on calculations that include the magnetic field, the surface it involves and the angle of incidence formed by the magnetic field lines and the surface elements.

The luminous flux , for its part, is the measure of the luminous power that can be perceived, while the radiant flux is the measure of the emitted power. Another type of measurement is the caloric flow , which refers to the heat supplied per unit of time.

The term in mathematics and philosophy

Mathematics uses the flow diagram to transfer the algorithms belonging to a process with multiple factors to a graph. Economics takes advantage of this type of diagrams to detail the state of a process.

For psychology , flow constitutes a mental state in which every individual is completely immersed in the activity they are carrying out. It is characterized by the feeling of focused energy and confidence in the success of the process.

Blood

Blood flow refers to the circulation of blood inside the body.

Blood flow and vaginal discharge

In the health and anatomical field, for its part, reference is made to what is called blood flow . This is defined as the amount of blood that passes through a section of a place in the circulation in a specific period of time. The Q symbol identifies the one that is measured in millimeters per second.

More precisely, the normal values ​​of this flow are considered to be 5,000 millimeters per second in an adult person in a resting position. In this sense, it is important to emphasize that this figure can be increased by actions such as exercise, the increase in body temperature or experiencing a situation of anxiety or stress.

Blood flow, in addition to everything mentioned, it must be emphasized that it is a fundamental value in the body since thanks to it, everything from the transport of heat or nutrients through the human body to the transport of various chemical compounds that occur. They allow controlling the correct functioning of the various organs.

Vaginal discharge , finally, is a transparent liquid that the vagina secretes when faced with sexual stimulation or at certain stages of menstruation. The flow, produced by the Bartholin glands, facilitates penetration.
