The classical spatial representation of meteor streams is an elliptical torus with variable cross section. The position of this torus in space is determined by the mean orbit elements that may be obtained directly from observations of individual meteor stream particles when crossed by the Earth. Since the orbits of individual particles of a stream differ from each other, the distance between them on a plane normal to the mean orbit of elliptical torus forms some area, i.e., a cross section. The size and form of these cross sections change with the change of the direction among the mean orbit and are completely defined by the dispersion values of the orbit elements in a stream. An attempt was made to create an analytical method that would permit description of the spatial and time parameters of meteor streams, i.e., the form and size of their cross section, density of incident flux and their variations along the mean orbit and in time. In this case, the stream is considered as a continuous flux rather than a set of individual particles.
