What is Fluids:

The term “fluid” refers to a material that has no defined structure and quickly submits to external pressure. It might be in the form of a liquid or a gas. We claim that a fluid may flow readily, and we see it more in clutches and couplings, where the fluid aids in the transmission of power.

Examples of fluids:

networks of canals and dams

In water and air conditioning systems, pumps, compressors, pipes, and ducting are employed.

Chemical plant piping systems.

Automobile and sub- and supersonic aircraft aerodynamics.

The rules of fluid mechanics govern blood circulation. Starting with the heart and following the continuity equations, it travels to every remote appendix of our body and returns, rejoining the heart in a long-term cycle.

Types of Fluids:

Ideal fluid.

When a fluid cannot be compressed and its viscosity does not fall into the category of an ideal fluid, it is considered to be ideal.

Real fluid

A genuine fluid is one that has at least some viscosity. Real fluids refer to all fluids that exist or are present in the environment. Take, for instance, water.

Newtonian fluid.

Newtonian fluids are defined as those that follow Newton’s law of viscosity.

Non-Newtonian fluid.

Non-Newtonian fluids are defined as fluids that do not obey Newton’s law of viscosity.

Ideal plastic fluid. …

Incompressible fluid. …

Compressible fluid. …

Steady or Unsteady Flow.
