A flow on a nil manifold $ M = G / H $
defined by the action on $ M $
of some one-parameter subgroup $ g _ {t} $
of a nilpotent Lie group $ G $:
If $ M $
consists of the cosets $ g H $,
then under the action of the nil flow such a coset at time $ t $
goes over in $ g _ {t} g H $.

Comments
The first example of a compact minimal flow that is distal but not equicontinuous was a nil flow (cf. Distal dynamical system; Equicontinuity).
