fluidodinâmica

Fluidodinàmica is the branch of physics that studies the motion of fluids, which include liquids and gases. It explores the forces acting on these fluids and the resulting movements. The field is a sub-discipline of fluid mechanics, which also encompasses fluid statics, the study of stationary fluids. Fluidodynamics seeks to describe and predict the behavior of fluids in various situations, from the flow of blood in arteries to the behavior of air over an airplane wing.

Key concepts in fluidodynamics include velocity, pressure, density, and viscosity. The behavior of fluids is often governed by a set of fundamental equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the conservation of momentum. These equations are notoriously complex and often require approximations or numerical solutions for practical problems. Fluidodynamics has applications in numerous fields, including aerospace engineering, civil engineering, meteorology, oceanography, and biomedical engineering. Understanding fluid behavior is crucial for designing efficient vehicles, predicting weather patterns, and comprehending biological processes.
