Fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of physics that studies the behavior of liquids and gases in motion. It encompasses a range of applications including calculating forces and moments in aircraft, determining the flow of blood through the cardiovascular system, and predicting weather patterns. The field uses principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy to formulate equations that describe fluid flow. These equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, are complex and can often only be solved with approximate methods or computer simulations. Fluid dynamics is critical in engineering, meteorology, oceanography, and astrophysics, among other fields.
