In steady flow, pathline and stream lines are _____________(a) different(b) same(c) 0(d) slightly similarThis question was posed to me in homework.The above asked question is from Uniform Flow in portion Inviscid & Incompressible Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (b) same

Explanation: A pathline is a path followed by a FLUID flow particle. Whereas, streamline is a point in the fluid flow at which if a tangent is drawn, it gives the direction of the fluid flow. But in a steady flow, the velocity REMAINS constant throughout the flow, hence the pathline and streamline become the same.
