Streamlines
3.1 Steady and Unsteady Flow, Streamlines, and Stream tubes 3.2 One-, Two-, and Three-Dimensional Flows
3.3 Velocity and Acceleration
3.4 Circulation, Vorticity, and Rotation Objectives
- treat kinematics of idealized fluid motion along streamlines and flowfields - learn how to describe motion in terms of displacement, velocities, and
accelerations without regard to the forces that cause the motion
- distinguish between rotational and irrotational regions of flow based on the flow property vorticity

1) Lagrangian views
~ Each fluid particle is labeled by its spatial coordinates at some initial time.
~ Then fluid variables (path, density, velocity, and others) of each individual particle are traced as time passes.
~ used in the dynamic analyses of solid particles
- We cannot easily define and identify particles of fluid as they move around.
- A fluid is a continuum, so interactions between parcels of fluid are not easy to describe as are interactions between distinct objects in solid mechanics.
- The fluid parcels continually deform as they move in the flow.

▪Difference between two descriptions
Imagine a person standing beside a river, measuring its properties.
Lagrangian approach: he throws in a prove that moves downstream with the river flow
Eulerian approach: he anchors the probe at a fixed location in the river
~ Eulerian approach is practical for most fluid engineering problems (experiments).

1) Steady flow (정상류)
~ The fluid variables at any point do not vary (change) with time.
~ The fluid variables may be a function of a position in the space.

→ In an unsteady (turbulent) flow, path lines are not coincident with the instantaneous streamlines.

~ current location of all particles which have passed through a fixed point in space

~ In steady flow, Lagrangian path lines are the same as the Eulerian streamlines, and both are the same as the streak lines, because the streamlines are then fixed in space and path lines, streak lines and streamlines are tangent to the steady velocities.
→ In a steady flow, all the particles on a streamlines that passes through a point in space also passed through or will pass through that point as well.
~ In an unsteady flow, the path lines, the streak lines, and the instantaneous streamlines are not coincident.
