current speed
Water movement velocity
Current speed is how fast something is moving at this moment, as opposed to its average or maximum speed.
A vehicle's current speed appears on the speedometer.
In computing and networking, current speed may refer to real-time data transfer rates: The download's current speed dropped to a crawl.
Water currents also have measurable speed, making the phrase occasionally ambiguous in nautical contexts.
