Hi e4dragon! Welcome to PF! :smile:

"In mathematics, orthogonal trajectories are a family of curves in the plane that intersect a given family of curves at right angles."​

For more detail, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_trajectory

Is there anything particular you don't understand about orthogonal trajectories? :smile:
