A fluid flow path that has a low spot. In a well, the U-tube is represented by the tubing and the annulus with the bottom of tubing as the low spot. Where two different density fluids are involved, the effect is that the lower density fluid will be pushed higher on its side by the higher density fluid on the other side.
