Forward-Backward streamline
 
Hi, Everybody,

I could understand forward streamline on a plane. But I couldnot understand backward streamline. How can I understand backward streamline on a plane? I would like to read about backward streamline. Thank you very much. Look forward to answer from someone.

What is not clear about backward streamlines?
Let's say you want to generate a forward streamline from point A. This will create a line from A to B where B is downstream of A. Now, if you do a streamline from B but this time instead of generating it as forward you generate it as backward, you get exactly the same result.

Hi, Lovecraft,
Thank you very much for your explanation. Now, I got a fundamental concept. Look forward to further sharing, if I have other problems in the future.

I corrected my previous post.
Before it was:

instead of

as it is now.
