👉 A driven fluid is a substance that flows under the influence of an external force or field, such as pressure, gravity, or electromagnetic fields. Unlike free fluids (like air or water) that move due to buoyancy and other natural forces, driven fluids exhibit directed motion in response to an external stimulus. This external force can cause the fluid particles to accelerate, resulting in a steady flow. Examples include water pumped through pipes by a pump or air blown through a nozzle, where the fluid's movement is directly controlled and consistent. The behavior of driven fluids is crucial in various engineering applications, from fluid dynamics in pipelines to the operation of hydraulic systems.
