👉 Fluid, in the context of physics and computer science, refers to a state of matter that exhibits properties intermediate between those of liquids and gases. It is characterized by the ability to flow like a liquid while also retaining some of the cohesive properties of a gas, such as the ability to expand in volume to fill its container. Fluid dynamics studies the behavior of fluids under various conditions, including their viscosity, surface tension, and compressibility. This state is crucial in understanding phenomena like ocean currents, atmospheric dynamics, and the flow of substances in industrial processes.
