Definitions
Timelines: Number of adjacent fluid
particles in a flow field that are marked
at a given instant forming a line in the
fluid at that instant.
Pathline: is the path or trajectorytraced
out by a moving fluid particle.
Stream line: lines draw in the flow field
so that at given instant they are tangent
to the direction of flow at every point in
the flow field.
