Practice question
Question
In streamline flow, why do streamlines never cross each other?
Explanation
In streamline flow, each streamline represents the path of a fluid particle with a unique velocity at each point. If streamlines crossed, a particle at the intersection would have two different velocities simultaneously, which is impossible in steady flow.
