Streamline plots are a postprocessing tool in COMSOL Multiphysics® that can be applied to the results of 2D and 3D models. You can use a Streamline plot to display a vector quantity, which is especially useful for visualizing fluid flow.

Watch this video to learn how to use Streamline plots to fit the needs of your COMSOL Multiphysics model. For the heat sink model shown here, we add streamlines to show the air flow through the air domain and around the heat sink.
