18 - Fluid Dynamics
Technologies and techniques related to the flow of fluids: gases, liquids, and plasma. Composed of two sub-disciplines: Aerothermodynamics (gases and plasma) and Hydrodynamics (liquids). Aerothermodynamics is related with the dynamics of gases and plasma, its physical processes, pressure and thermal fields and deals with the atmospheric interactions with moving objects at low or high speeds. Hydrodynamics deals with the study of liquids in motion inside the propellant tanks of flight vehicles and involves the calculation of various properties of fluid propellant, such as flow velocity, pressure, density, and temperature, as functions of space and time.
