streamlined
(adjective)
Designed to offer little resistance to the flow of fluid, especially by having sleek, graceful lines.
Examples of streamlined in the following topics:
-
Application of Bernoulli's Equation: Pressure and Speed
- For "ideal" flow along a streamline with no change in height, an increase in velocity results from a decrease in static pressure.
- Therefore, if there is no change in potential energy along a streamline, Bernoulli's equation implies that the total energy along that streamline is constant and is a balance between static and dynamic pressure.
- along a streamline.
- Given that any energy exchanges result from conservative forces, the total energy along a streamline is constant and is simply swapped between potential and kinetic.
- The flow rate out can be determined by drawing a streamline from point ( A ) to point ( C ).
-
Problems
- Find the relativistic generalization of Bernoulli's equation for a streamline (you can neglect gravity).
-
Turbulence Explained
- At low velocity, flow in a very smooth tube or around a smooth, streamlined object will be laminar.
-
Isentropic flows
- The circulation around a close contour (bold lines) that travels with the fluid along the streamlines (light lines) is conserved if the fluid is isentropic.

- Find the relativistic generalization of Bernoulli's equation for a streamline (you can neglect gravity).
- We can use the shock jump conditions as a starting point, because they must hold along a streamline as well as across a discontinuity.
-
Flow through a Channel
- The quantity $h_0$ is a constant along the surface streamline, and it is so important in hydraulics that it has a special name, specific head.
