- 1. Fluid dynamics is the study of the behavior of liquids and gases in motion. It deals with how fluids flow, how they interact with boundaries, objects, and other fluids, and how their properties like velocity, pressure, and density vary in different conditions. Fluid dynamics has applications in various fields such as engineering, meteorology, biology, and oceanography, helping us understand phenomena like ocean currents, airflow around aircraft, blood flow in the human body, and weather patterns. By predicting and analyzing fluid behavior, researchers and engineers can develop better designs, optimize processes, and solve practical problems in a wide range of industries.
