In scientific visualization a stream surface is the 3D generalization of a streamline. It is the union of all streamlines seeded densely on a curve. Like a streamline, a stream surface is used to visualize flows – three-dimensional flows in this case. Specifically, it is "the locus of an infinite set of such curves [streamlines], rooted at every point along a continuous originating line segment."[1]
