Steady-
Unsteady-
Density is constant
Density is variable
Viscosity is non-zero
Non-viscous/Inviscid-Viscosity is zero/negligible
Ideal Fluid- Coefficient of Viscosity = = 0
Real Fluid- Coefficient of Viscosity = 0
Newtonian FluidObeys Newtons Law of
Viscosity

Fluid as Continuum
Fluid consists of large number of particles
in continuous motion
For length scales of, say, 1m and larger,
the molecular structure and motions may
be ignored
The fluid is treated as a continuum.
Eulerian Approach
Another view of fluid motion
is the Eulerian description. In
the Eulerian description of
fluid motion, we consider how
flow properties change at a
fluid element that is fixed in
space and time (x,y,z,t),
rather than following
individual fluid particles.
