Path line

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007821

The trajectory traced by a single, identifiable fluid parcel as it moves through space over a period of time. It represents the actual physical path taken by a specific particle in a flow field. In steady flow, path lines coincide with streamlines and streaklines, but in unsteady flow, they diverge.
