Explain the characteristics of streamlines.
(N/A) Characteristics of streamlines:
$(i)$ In a steady flow,streamlines can never intersect each other.
$(ii)$ The tangent drawn at any point on a streamline indicates the direction of the velocity of the fluid particle at that point.
$(iii)$ The velocity of each fluid particle passing through a specific point on a streamline is constant over time,but it may vary from point to point along the streamline.
$(iv)$ Widely spaced streamlines indicate a region of low speed,while closely spaced streamlines indicate a region of high speed.
