We obtain the expression for the curvature of the trajectory of the light beam in a moving medium. Trajectory curvature k and the angular deviation α depend on the velocity gradient and also on the angle between the wave vector and the fluid velocity vector.

Keywords: trajectory curvature, wave vector, dispersion equation, velocity gradient
