Definition
流入 (liú rù) means 'to flow into' and emphasizes movement from outside to inside a container, region, or system — unlike 流 (liú), which just means 'to flow' without a destination. It is used for liquids, money, data, or influences entering somewhere. 涌 (yǒng) implies a sudden surge, while 漂流 (piāo liú) means drifting without a clear direction.
