Understanding the Five Types of Fluids: A Comprehensive Overview

Convert to note

Types of Fluids

In this video, we discuss the classification of fluids into five distinct types:

  1. Ideal Fluid

    • Definition: An incompressible fluid with zero viscosity.
    • Examples: Water, oil, and petrol are considered ideal fluids as they are incompressible liquids.
  2. Real Fluid

    • Definition: An incompressible fluid that possesses viscosity.
    • Note: Real fluids are commonly encountered in the universe, unlike ideal fluids, which are theoretical. For a deeper understanding of the differences between fluids, you can check out our summary on Understanding Solids and Liquids: Key Differences and Properties.
  3. Newtonian Fluid

    • Definition: A fluid where shear stress is directly proportional to the velocity gradient.
    • Characteristics: Follows Newton's law of viscosity.
  4. Non-Newtonian Fluid

  5. Ideal Plastic Fluid

    • Definition: A fluid where shear stress exceeds the yield value and is directly proportional to shear strain.
    • Characteristics: Follows Newton's law but requires a certain yield stress to flow.

In summary, we have covered the five types of fluids, highlighting their unique properties and classifications. To understand the fundamental concepts that underpin these classifications, you may also find our summary on Understanding Physical Quantities: Fundamental and Derived Types helpful.
