Concept:

Streamlines are a family of curves that are instantaneously tangent to the velocity vector of the flow. These show the direction in which a mass-less fluid element will travel at any point in time

Streaklines are the loci of points of all the fluid particles that have passed continuously through a particular spatial point in the past. Dye steadily injected into the fluid at a fixed point extends along a streak line.

Pathlines are the trajectories that individual fluid particles follow. These can be thought of as "recording" the path of a fluid element in the flow over a certain period. The direction the path takes will be determined by the streamlines of the fluid at each moment in time.

For steady flow, path lines, streamlines and streaklines coincide.
