Answer 1

Answer:

Streamline flow in fluids is defined as the flow in which the fluids flow in parallel layers such that there is no disruption or intermixing of the layers and at a given point, the velocity of each fluid particle passing by remains constant with time. Here, at low fluid velocities, there are no turbulent velocity fluctuations and the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing. Here, the motion of particles of the fluid follows a particular order with respect to the particles moving in a straight line parallel to the wall of the pipe such that the adjacent layers slide past each other like playing cards.

Streamlines are defined as the path taken by particles of fluid under steady flow conditions. If we represent the flow lines as curves, then the tangent at any point on the curve gives the direction of the fluid velocity at that point.
