Equation of streamline is given by:

udy " vdx = 0

(\frac{{dx}}{u} = \frac{{dy}}{v} \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{ax}} = \frac{{dy}}{{by}} \Rightarrow b\frac{{dx}}{x} = a\frac{{dy}}{y}\)

Integrating both sides:

b ln x = a ln y + C
ln xb = ln ya + C
ln xb - ln ya = C
(ln \frac{{{x^b}}}{{{y^a}}} = c\)
xby-a = C1
which is hyperbolic arcs.

2D flows are represented by a curve (parabolic).

C. Hyperbolic is the right answer.

Given the velocity components u= ax andv = by, v can derive the streamlines.

The equation for streamlines in 2D flow is dy/dx = v/u = by/ax.

Solving this, we get xy = constant, which represents hyperbolas.
