A 2D fluid velocity field is represented using streamlines. A streamline is tangent to the velocity field everywhere. Streamlines are plotted for the velocity field generated by the components of the velocity vector. You can vary the values of the coefficients, exponents, and constants of each component

u

and

v

of the velocity vector. You can restrict the range with the controls at the top.
