fluid mechanics (mechanics (physics), physics, ... Disciplines (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Branch of mechanics dealing with the properties and behavior of liquids and gases and the ways in which they respond to and exert forces. Study of fluids in motion, or fluid dynamics, makes up the larger part of fluid mechanics, and branches of fluid dynamics include hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. Hydrodynamics is often used synonymously with fluid dynamics |
