Hovedflöde is a Swedish term that translates to "main flow" or "primary current." It is most commonly used in the context of hydrology and oceanography to describe the principal direction of water movement within a river, strait, or ocean current. This main flow is determined by factors such as topography, prevailing winds, and the Coriolis effect. Understanding the hovedflöde is crucial for predicting sediment transport, the dispersal of pollutants, and the migration patterns of aquatic organisms.
In river systems, the hovedflöde is typically the deepest and fastest-moving channel, carrying the majority of
