The concept of a fluid continuum assumes that fluids are continuously distributed matter without considering their molecular structure. In reality, fluids are made up of discrete molecules separated by intermolecular spaces. However, in fluid mechanics, it is convenient to treat fluids as continuous substances where properties such as density, pressure, and velocity are defined at every point within the fluid domain. This approximation allows engineers and scientists to apply mathematical tools like differential calculus to analyze fluid behavior. The
