Understanding Streaklines: Uses & Differences

[QUOTE="boneh3ad, post: 6245438, member: 268837"] I am not sure you could say there is a physical "use" for them, but it is important to know what they are and why they are not the same as streamlines. A common method of visualizing flow in a wind or water tunnel is to inject smoke or dye at a point and watch the trails they trace out over a body. If the flow is unsteady, this is a streakline and not a streamline. A tunnel user has to know this. [/QUOTE]
