The effects of flow on the NMR absorption in the A and B phases of 3He have been studied. While no flow-induced changes in the absorption were seen in the B phase, a variety of phenomena were observed in the A phase. The phenomena include the development of time-dependent satellite peaks, height reductions of the signal, and a splitting of the signal, with a fraction of the signal shifting to lower frequencies. These effects are described and discussed in light of the existing theoretical models. In addition, the NMR shift in the static B-phase liquid confined between 135-Μm-spaced parallel plates has been measured as a function of temperature and the angle between the magnetic field and the plates. These results are compared with previous measurements and are found to be in good agreement. Finally, two effects observed in the static liquid, the disappearance of the B-phase signal under certain conditions and the splitting of the A-phase signal, are described.
