streamline

A hypothetical line that shows the velocity direction of the fluid stream at each point along the line. Streamlines do not therefore cross each other. A set of streamlines charts the flow pattern. If the flow is steady then the streamline pattern does not change with time. If, however, the streamlines are continually changing shape the flow is unsteady.
