For steady flow the given equation gives . Dotting with yields , so is constant along each streamline. It can have different values on different streamlines. Dotting with also makes it constant along vortex lines where they are defined.
If the flow is additionally irrotational, and hence . Thus is one constant on each connected fluid region, the stronger global Bernoulli conclusion.
