Perfect fluid

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007846

A theoretical fluid characterized by zero viscosity and zero thermal conductivity, meaning it experiences no internal friction and no heat transfer by conduction. This idealized concept simplifies the mathematical modeling of fluid dynamics in certain atmospheric and oceanic processes. While not physically realizable, it provides a baseline for understanding fluid behavior.
