I have been beating my head off the freekin wall trying to figure out what is different between the two is as people say they can be different in the same loop. I think I have figured it out somewhat.
Flow is the amount of water from point A to point B.
Volocity is how fast that water gets from point A to point B.
Think of it as a river. The water moves slower through the flats and faster through the rapids. In the rapids the volocity gets quicker and in the flats the volocity returns to normal.
Also if the river gets narrower and the depth stays the same it has to move faster as you are pushing the same amount of flow through a smaller opening wich increases the volocity.
(God damn I spent way to much time fishing out of my kayak in the river.
)
Bahahaha!!! I don't know if that made since or not but I got myself convienced!!!
