  2. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    Streamlines are frame-dependent. That is, the streamlines observed in one inertial reference frame are different from those observed in another inertial reference frame. For instance, the streamlines in the air around an aircraft wing are defined differently for the passengers in the aircraft than for an observer on the ground. In the aircraft ...

  3. Streamline - Wikipedia

    Streamline Pictures, an American distribution company best known for distributing English dubbed Japanese animation; Streamline Studios, an independent Dutch outsourcing and game developing studio

  4. Streamsurface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamsurface

    It is the union of all streamlines seeded densely on a curve. Like a streamline, a stream surface is used to visualize flows – three-dimensional flows in this case. Specifically, it is "the locus of an infinite set of such curves [streamlines], rooted at every point along a continuous originating line segment." [1]

  5. Flow visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_visualization

    Analytical methods that analyse a given flow and show properties like streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines. The flow can either be given in a finite representation or as a smooth function. Texture advection methods that "bend" textures (or images) according to the flow. As the image is always finite (the flow through could be given as a ...

  6. Line integral convolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_integral_convolution

    Because LIC does not encode flow orientation, it cannot distinguish between streamlines of equal direction but opposite orientation. [8] Oriented Line Integral Convolution (OLIC) solves this issue by using a ramp-like asymmetric kernel and a low-density noise texture. [ 8 ]

  7. Skin friction line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_friction_line

    They are obtained by calculating the streamlines of a derived vector field on the surface, the wall shear stress. Skin friction arises from the friction of the fluid against the "skin" of the object that is moving through it and forms a vector at each point on the surface. A skin friction line is a curve on the surface tangent to skin friction ...

  8. Stokes stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_stream_function

    Streamlines around a sphere in axisymmetric Stokes flow. At terminal velocity the drag force F d balances the force F g propelling the object. In fluid dynamics , the Stokes stream function is used to describe the streamlines and flow velocity in a three-dimensional incompressible flow with axisymmetry .

  9. Two-dimensional flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_flow

    Sink flow is the opposite of source flow. The streamlines are radial, directed inwards to the line source. As we get closer to the sink, area of flow decreases. In order to satisfy the continuity equation, the streamlines get bunched closer and the velocity increases as we get closer to the source. As with source flow, the velocity at all ...
