Flow units

Flow units refer to the measurement of a quantity that moves or operates continuously over time. In various contexts—like fluid dynamics, economics, or information technology—they represent how much of something passes through a point or is processed in a given timeframe. For example, in a river, flow units might measure how many liters of water pass a specific point per second. In business, it could measure the number of products sold each hour. Essentially, flow units help us understand and quantify the movement or transfer of resources, information, or materials in a system.
