Timeline of fluid and continuum mechanics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This timeline describes the major developments, both experimental and theoretical understanding of fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics. This timeline includes developments in:
- Theoretical models of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics.
- Hydraulics
- Elasticity
- Mechanical waves and acoustics
- Valves and fluidics
- Gas laws
- Turbulence modeling
- Plasticity and rheology
- Quantum fluids like Bose–Einstein condensates and superfluidity
- Microfluidics
