Hello everyone,

i was wondering what a Streamline plot actually does? In cfd-post i have to choose a plane to plot the streamlines. It makes no sense to me because the streamline of a particle is 3 dimensional, so what are the continuous lines i see over the selected plane?

Thanks in advance,

Charles
