Sankey diagram is a very useful way to represent flow in a system. The flow happens between relatable entities and are represented by coloured links. The flow could be of any measurable quantity - material, cost, energy, etc, from one node (or entity) to another. It can be drawn in different layouts and gives a quick understanding of the flow balance in the system. Can use it to show energy flow in a system, or resource flow among members, or import/export among countries, etc. A sankey diagram very intuitively captures attention on the most important flow.

Chord diagram is a visually appealing way to represent weighted relationships in a radial layout. Entities (or categories) among which the weighted relationship exist are drawn on the circumference whereas the actual weighted relationship are drawn as links in the circular space of the chord diagram. Most of the time this weighted relationship is a flow or a movement like, migration of people from one country to another, or, subscribers switching telecom operators. The essence of a chord diagram is in knowing the dominant relationship and one can toggle to narrow focus on most important relationships.
