👉 A stood fluid refers to a type of fluid that remains in a single, unbroken layer at the surface of an object or container, typically due to surface tension. This phenomenon occurs when the cohesive forces between fluid molecules are stronger than the adhesive forces with other substances or the gravitational pull acting on the fluid. Common examples include water droplets on leaves or oil slicks on water, where the fluid maintains its integrity without breaking into smaller droplets or mixing with other substances.
