flowing
Like a river
Flowing describes continuous, smooth movement like water in a stream.
A flowing river moves steadily; flowing robes or hair hang loose and move gracefully.
Flowing prose or conversation proceeds without interruption or awkwardness.
The word suggests ease and naturalness: Her flowing handwriting filled the page.
Traffic can be flowing or stopped.
