👉 An unlike fluid is a type of fluid that does not have a fixed volume but can flow and change shape to fill any space it occupies. Unlike rigid solids or incompressible fluids, unlike fluids like water, air, and oils expand when subjected to pressure and can take on the form of their container, whether it's a container or an open space. This property is due to the weak intermolecular forces between fluid molecules, allowing them to slide past each other easily. As a result, unlike fluids exhibit behaviors such as surface tension and viscosity, which are crucial in many natural phenomena and industrial applications.
