steady flow
Uninterrupted liquid movement
A steady flow is continuous, consistent movement of something—liquid, traffic, people, or information—without interruption or significant variation.
A steady flow of customers kept the shop busy all afternoon.
The phrase emphasizes regularity rather than volume: a steady flow may be modest but reliable, contrasting with surges or trickles.
