	Streamlines, Streaklines and Pathlines Information
		In fluid dynamics, streamlines are a family of curves that are instantaneously tangent to the velocity vector of the flow.
		For instance, the streamlines in the air around a aircraft wing are defined differently for the passengers in the aircraft than for an observer on the ground.
		Streamlined objects and organisms, like steam locomotives, streamliners, cars and dolphins are often aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

		Art Deco and its derivation, the strikingly designed Streamline Moderne, were two of the more dramatic examples of American architecture that broke with the tradition of reviving historical styles.
