INTRODUCTION• Fluid Kinematics deals with the motion of fluids
without considering the forces and momentswhich create the motion.
According to thecontinuum hypothesisthe local velocity of fluidis the velocity of aninfinitesimally small fluidparticle/element at agiven instant t. It isgenerally a continuousfunction in space andtime.

FLOW VISUALIZATION• Flow visualization is the visual examination of
flow-field features.• Important for both physical experiments and
numerical (CFD) solutions.• Numerous methods
– Streamlines and streamtubes– Pathlines– Streaklines– Timelines– Refractive techniques– Surface flow techniques
30WCDKF-KDU
STREAMLINES
• A line in the fluid whose tangent is parallel to at a given instant t.
• Steady flow : the streamlines are fixed in space for all time.
• Unsteady flow : the streamlines are changing from instant to instant.
31WCDKF-KDU
STREAMLINES• A Streamline is a
curve that is everywhere tangent to the instantaneous local velocity vector.

STREAM-TUBE• is the surface formed instantaneously by all
the streamlines that pass through a given closed curve in the fluid.
Since no fluid can penetrate the streamlines, the flow passing through each of the sections would be same.
34WCDKF-KDU
PATHLINE• A line traced by an individual fluid particle
• For a steady flow the pathlines are identical with the streamlines.
A Pathline is the actual path traveled by an individual fluid particle over a time period.
35WCDKF-KDU
36WCDKF-KDU
STREAKLINE
• A streakline consists of all fluid particles in aflow that have previously passed through acommon point. Such a line can be producedby continuously injecting marked fluid (smokein air, or dye in water) at a given location.
• For steady flow : The streamline, the pathline,and the streakline are the same.
37WCDKF-KDU
STREAKLINES
• A Streakline is thelocus of fluid particlesthat have passedsequentially througha prescribed point inthe flow.
• Easy to generate inexperiments: dye in awater flow, or smokein an airflow.
COMPARISON
• For steady flow, streamlines, pathlines, andstreaklines are identical.
• For unsteady flow, they can be very different.
– Streamlines are an instantaneous picture of theflow field
–Pathlines and Streaklines are flow patterns thathave a time history associated with them.
– Streakline: instantaneous snapshot of a time-integrated flow pattern.
–Pathline: time-exposed flow path of anindividual particle. 39WCDKF-KDU
Ex 3• Determine the equation of streamline for a two
dimensional flow field for which the velocitycomponents are given by
i. u = a and v = a where a is a non-zeroconstant. The streamline passes through thepoint (1, 3).
ii. u = y/b2 and v = x/a2. The streamline passesthrough the point (a, 0).

VELOCITY POTENTIAL FUNCTION
• Imagine that a function φ exist such that itsderivative in any direction gives the velocity inthat direction
• The function φ is called the velocity potentialfunction and lines of constant potentialfunction are termed equipotential lines.
