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:
“Flow, flow the waves hated,
Accursed, adored,
The waves of mutation:
No anchorage is.”
