Observation of the characteristics of fluid flow, analyzing properties fluids such as velocity, temperature and pressure. Fluid is a general word encompassing both gases and liquids, but not solids. Such study is also called flow visualization.
In the field of foam molding for parts machining, the flow and expansion of resin in a mold is estimated by conducting experiments in resin flow and performing fluid simulations, in order to design dies optimized for the parts being manufactured.
