Flowing or running together in the same direction; occurring or developing at the same time.
From 'co-' (together) + 'current' (from Latin 'currere,' to run). Technical term used in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and temporal descriptions.
In heat exchangers, 'cocurrent' flow (both fluids moving the same direction) is way less efficient than 'countercurrent' (opposite directions), which is why car radiators are built the way they are.
