Introduction to

Dynamic Fluids
Dynamic fluids are substances that can flow and change shape,
such as water, air, and oil. Understanding their behavior is
crucial in fields like engineering, physics, and meteorology,
enabling the design of efficient systems and accurate predictions
of natural phenomena.

Measurement of Flow Rate

Devices that directly measure the volume or mass of fluid flowing
through a pipe or channel.

2 Tracer Techniques
Injecting a tracer substance and measuring its movement to
indirectly calculate flow rate.
