Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines
Fluid flow
is characterized by a
velocity
vector field
in
three-dimensional space
, within the framework of
continuum mechanics
.
Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines
are
field lines
resulting from this vector field description of the flow. They differ only when the flow changes with time: that is, when the flow is not
steady
.
