Flow diagram is a diagram representing a flow or set of dynamic relationships in a system. The term flow diagram is also used as a synonym for flowchart,[1] and sometimes as a counterpart of the flowchart.[2]
Flow diagrams are used to structure and order a complex system, or to reveal the underlying structure of the elements and their interaction.[3]
