fluid mechanics
Also known as aerohydromechanics
branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them; branch of continuum mechanics
AI overview
Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies how liquids, gases, and plasmas behave and interact with the forces acting on them. It matters because understanding fluid flow and behavior is essential for designing everything from airplanes and pipelines to weather prediction systems and medical devices.
