interflow
Currents merge together
Interflow is the movement or exchange between two things, suggesting mutual flow in both directions.
Water interflows between connected lakes.
Ideas interflow between disciplines.
The word appears in technical contexts—hydrology, systems theory—but also describes any reciprocal exchange: There's a natural interflow between the two departments.
