A

fluid

can

be

a

gas,

vapor

or

liquid,

Most

fluids

have

friction

dependent

properties

such

as

viscosity,

which

affect

the

way

they

flow.

If

the

viscosity

of

a

fluid

is

low

enough

so

that

it

can

be

neglected,

the

fluid

can

be

considered

to

be

Ideal.

If

the

viscosity

of

the

fluid

is

not

negligible

but

is

constant

the

fluid

is

said

to

be

Newtonian.
