Deals with the flow of fluids that undergo significant density changes, such as the

flow of gases through nozzles at high speeds.

• Gas Dynamics

• Laminar flow
• Turbulent flow
• Incompressible flow

The study of the motion of fluids that can be approximated as incompressible

(such as liquids, especially water, and gases at low speeds).
