Inviscid flow Inviscid flow Inviscid flow is the flow of an inviscid fluid, in which the viscosity of the fluid is equal to zero. Though there are limited examples of inviscid fluids, known as superfluids, inviscid flow has many applications in fluid dynamics. The Reynolds number of inviscid flow approaches infinity as the viscosity approaches zero. When viscous forces are neglected, such as the case of inviscid flow, the Navier-Stokes equation can be simplified to a form known as the Euler equation. This simplified equation is applicable to inviscid flow as well as flow with low viscosity and a Reynolds number much
Physics of Fluids former continued under its original name, "Physics of Fluids". "Physics of Fluids" was originally published by the American Institute of Physics in cooperation with the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS-DFD). In 2016, the American Physical Society founded its own journal "Physical Review Fluids". From 1985–2015, "Physics of Fluids" published the "Gallery of Fluid Motion", containing award-winning photographs, images and visual streaming media of fluid flow. Since 2016, the "Gallery of Fluid Motion" is published by the American Physical Society. With funding from the American Institute of Physics the annual "François Naftali Frenkiel Award" was established by the
