to streamline

listen to the pronunciation of to streamline
English - English
To modernise
To design and construct the contours of a vehicle etc. so as to offer the least resistance to its flow through a fluid
that is designed so as to afford an unbroken flow of a fluid about it, esp
a line which is instantaneously parallel to fluid flow
a line that is tangent to the velocity of flow of a fluid; equivalent to the path of a specific particle in that flow
– a type of fluid flow in which each layer of fluid follows a smooth path past other layers without crossing over or becoming tangled (also called laminar flow)
on a weather chart, a line that is tangent to the flow of the wind
the path of an air parcel that flows steadily over or around an obstacle
to simplify or organize a process in order to increase its efficiency
A path in a steady flow field along which a given fluid particle travels
to a stream line; designating a motion or flow that is free from turbulence, like that of a particle in a streamline; hence, designating a surface, body, etc
{f} design or build in a form which offers minimum resistance to a current of air or fluid; make more efficient, organize, simplify
{i} path along which a fluid flows; direction in which a particle flows (i.e. in a fluid); aerodynamic shape
Streamlines of flow about a streamline body follow the contours of the body In streamline bodies the flow remains attached, whilst keeping wake behind it to a minimum
1 A body position that permits the smooth and efficient passage of water along your body as you swim, thus minimizing your drag in the water An important consideration in every stroke! 2 A low-drag body position in which the arms are extended straight ahead, usually with the hands placed one atop the other or palm-to-palm Used mainly during kick drills and immediately after turns (before breakout)
when the resistance to flow is the least possible; as, a streamline body for an automobile or airship
In visualization, an instantaneous representation of a vector field In contrast to Streakline, the path of a Styrofoam ball or balls over time through a static vector field For example, if you released a set of balls at the top of a hill, and assume the hill gradient is not changing over the brief time of sampling, the same paths would be traced by balls released at the same points now and one hour from now (disregarding chaos theory) Videotaping their motion with an open shutter would yield a line showing the overall path through the static gradient
contour economically or efficiently
Of or pert
The position used to gain maximum distance during a start and/or push off from the wall in which the swimmer's body is as tight as it can be
To streamline an organization or process means to make it more efficient by removing unnecessary parts of it. They're making efforts to streamline their normally cumbersome bureaucracy. In fluid mechanics, the path of imaginary particles suspended in the fluid and carried along with it. In steady flow, the fluid is in motion but the streamlines are fixed. Where streamlines crowd together, the fluid speed is relatively high; where they open out, the fluid is relatively still. See also laminar flow, turbulent flow
A line on a weather map showing the path a parcel of air would follow as it moves through the atmosphere
