Spacing between letters when treated as individual variables is always a
bit fishy. In this case the math mode suppresses the fl ligature, which
seems to be present in the font, whence the spacing is off. Something like

\starttext
\math{{\it flow}_1}
\stoptext

will help ConTeXt treat it as text and improve the spacing (and in this
case make use of the fl ligature).

Define \def\flow{\text{\it flow}} if you just want to say

\starttext
\math{\flow_1}
\stoptext
