The last simulations are just amazing! I couldn't figure the difference between lines without them!

[@FluidMatters]

Glad to hear it was helpful. Thanks for the kind words.

Prof. Naylor, I do not know how to thank you for preparing and sharing these valuable content. It clearly shows that you care about your students' understanding. The clip about pathline, streakline and streamline is AMAZING. I will never forget the definition of these terms.

[@FluidMatters]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad it was helpful.

Thank you professor Naylor. Finely understanding the basic and core principles of Fluid dynamics really helps. Makes me more interested in this field of study.

Sir, I've been watching your videos and genuinely intrigued at how beautiful this subject is. I previously thought fluid mechanics is interesting but your presentations make it all the more fascinating. Thank you

This Clears my doubt on imaginary lines that Streamlines defination is written about Thank You

[@FluidMatters]

Glad the video was helpful.

Thanks a lot for this video!! I am a physics student and I had a really hard time visualizing and understanding the differences between these 3 lines in non-steady flow. Your video was really helpful thanks a lot!

[@FluidMatters]

Glad it was helpful!

Very interesting presentation Dr. David Naylor

[@FluidMatters]

Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear it was helpful. Good luck with your studies.

An explainer like fyenman 😳🙏,namaste from india

[@danwoo21]

Thank you very much! Your explanation is so clear.

[@virajkesarwani4707]

examples illustrated in the video are cool!!

[@mariamexplains3948]

Beautiful !

How to make these simulation?

[@FluidMatters]

The simulations are done using computational fluid dynamics, which are numerical solutions to the equations of fluid flow (Chapter 4). After the velocity field has been solved, the "post processor" usually offers various types of lines to visualize the flow. For example, mech eng students may have access to the Fluid Flow Simulation module of SolidWorks, which has these capabilities -- also ANSYS FLUENT, COMSOL, etc.

thank you very much...

[@FluidMatters]

Welcome!

[@srinivassai2557]

Sir, is the fluid particles flowing across the stream lines?
