this is exactly the technique I use. Generate streamlines. Then
iso-contour the streamline object with the scalar field
"IntegrationTime". Use a single threshold. Then animate the threshold
value. Use Mode=Sequence, get a ramp between minimum time and maximun time.
Use Glyphs (small spheres or arrows) attached to the iso-valued contours
and they will "animate" their position along the streamlines.
