from the top to the bottom
Once the thermostat has opened, the hot coolant flows from the thermostat housing on the engine into the top of radiator and out the bottom of the radiator back into the water pump.
The water does not flow through the radiator until the engine is at operating temperature. At that time the thermostat will open and allow it to flow.Sometimes you are unable to see it, depending on the direction of flow. Increase the engine rpm and you should notice a change.
It flows in the bottom hose of the radiator and out the top hose.
Coolant flows into the water pump thru the bottom radiator hose, into the block from the water pump, up into the heads, and then to the intake crossover (or heater core from the back pass side head), then back to the radiator via the top hose. Coolant from the heater core is returned to the water pump not to the radiator.
direction of flow
Coolant is drawn into the water pump via the lower radiator hose, the water pump pushes the coolant thru both sides of the block and up into the back of both heads, thru the heads then out the front of the heads into the intake manifold then thru the thermostat and into the upper radiator hose into the radiator.
The boiler has a circulation pump that circulate the water

The direction of the flow in a toilet is determined by the design of the bowl and the direction of the water jets, rather than the Earth's rotation. Factors like the shape of the bowl and water flow patterns can influence the direction of the flow, not the location on Earth. The Coriolis effect, which impacts large-scale weather systems, is not significant enough to affect the direction of water flow in a small space like a toilet bowl.
No, water does not flow through the fins in a car radiator. The fins are there to dissipate heat from the coolant circulating through the radiator tubes. Air passing over the fins helps cool down the hot coolant flowing through the tubes.
In a river or stream, the flow of water is in one direction only.
