Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and modelling fission weapon detonation. Below is a structured list of topics in fluid dynamics.
Sydney Goldstein FRS [1] (3 December 1903 – 22 January 1989) was a British mathematician noted for his contribution to fluid dynamics. [2] [3] He is described as: "... one of those who most influenced progress in fluid dynamics during the 20th century."
Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research, typically mathematically complex. Many problems are partly or wholly unsolved and are best addressed by numerical methods, typically using computers. A modern discipline, called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is devoted to this approach. [2]
In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of water and other liquids in motion).
Osborne Reynolds FRS (23 August 1842 – 21 February 1912) was an Irish-born [1] [2] [3] British [4] innovator in the understanding of fluid dynamics. Separately, his studies of heat transfer between solids and fluids brought improvements in boiler and condenser design. He spent his entire career at what is now the University of Manchester.
