Everything about Fluid
Liquid, gas, or other continuously deforming and flowing material
In physics, a fluid is a liquid, gas, or other material that may continuously move and deform (flow) under an applied shear stress, or external force. They have zero shear modulus, or, in simpler terms, are substances which cannot resist any shear force applied to them. Wikipedia →
