The property of steam function ψ is :
ψ is constant everwhere on any stream line
the flow around any path in the fluid is zero for continuous flow
the rate of change of ψ with distance in an arbitrary direction, is proportional to the component of velocity normal to that direction
the velocity vector may be found by differentiating the stream function
all the above.
