(2) Streamlines, streaklines, pathlines.... are all the same if the flow is
; but if not, then they
can be pretty different.
A factory discharges some smoke into the air. The
smoke is neutrally-buoyant, and simply goes with the
prevailing horizontal winds. The wind shifts
according to the following:
,0t10 hrs: 10mph towards east
5mph20mph10mpht=10,20,30,40t=0,10,20,30hrst=0,30hrs: 10mph towards east
For each of the times t=10,20,30,40hrs., sketch and label the following for the smoke and wind field (looking
from above, not from the side):
Streamlines for that particular time
Pathlines of particles previously released at times t=0,10,20,30hrs(only particles already released)
Streakline showing all smoke particles released since t=020hrs: 20mph towards northwest
,30hrs: 10mph towards east
For each of the times t=10,20,30,40hrs., sketch and label the following for the smoke and wind field (looking
from above, not from the side):
Streamlines for that particular time
Pathlines of particles previously released at times t=0,10,20,30hrs(only particles already released)
Streakline showing all smoke particles released since t=010hrs: 5mph towards southwest
20hrs: 20mph towards northwest
,30hrs: 10mph towards east
For each of the times t=10,20,30,40hrs., sketch and label the following for the smoke and wind field (looking
from above, not from the side):
Streamlines for that particular time
Pathlines of particles previously released at times t=0,10,20,30hrs(only particles already released)
Streakline showing all smoke particles released since t=0
