When the material body is in the gas or liquid phase, the discipline is
called fluid mechanics.
Fluids
A fluid is a substance whose molecules move freely past each other. More
specifically, a fluid is a substance that will continuously deformthat is,
flow under the action of a shear stress.
Fluids: Subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas
and, to some extent, plastic solids.
