The flow rate of a stream is equal to the flow velocity (speed) multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the flow. The equation Q=AV (Q=discharge rate, A=area, V=velocity) is sometimes known as the discharge equation.

notes
Flow rates are important for example to environmental scientists observing river flows, and to chemists and chemical engineers considering the rates of addition of reactant streams into vessels.
