The act or quality of flowing around something; the state of being surrounded by flowing water or currents.
From Latin circumfluentia (flowing around), combining circum- and fluentia (flowing). Developed in geological and hydrological terminology.
Rivers demonstrate circumfluence constantly—they flow around islands and rocks rather than stopping, creating complex erosion patterns that geologists use to understand landscape history.
