Hello everyone,

Could someone explain if there is something like a 3d-stream function and if not, why not? (unsigned)

Article should be more general

Stream functions do not just describe fluid. These functions apply to equipotential lines for a variety of phenomena. This article should be much more general, since these functions are used in electrical engineering, physics, etc.... Anyone?Tparameter 04:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article is very general but there is too much maths and not enough explaining. It is easy to define something but harder to write an encyclopaedic article about it. I will have a go when I have more time. I must say that I have not come across stream functions outside of fluids, they appear in aeronautics and hydrodynamics, where else have you used them?
