👉 The channel fluid, also known as the hydrodynamic or viscous flow, is a fundamental aspect of fluid mechanics that describes the movement of fluids through channels or pipes. This fluid exhibits resistance to flow due to its internal friction, which is quantified by viscosity. As a fluid moves through a channel, it experiences shear stress and pressure gradients that drive the flow, while the channel's geometry and surface roughness influence the fluid's velocity profile and pressure drop. Understanding the channel fluid dynamics is crucial for optimizing fluid transport systems, from microfluidic devices to large-scale industrial pipelines.
