The Important Role of Fluid Mechanics in the Engineering Field

Abstract

Fluid mechanics, a fundamental discipline within engineering, has gained increasing significance across various fields due to continuous advancements in engineering science and technology. Its principles and methodologies find widespread application in aerospace, energy development, environmental protection, biomedicine, and beyond, serving as a cornerstone for technological progress. However, despite the expanding applications of fluid dynamics, challenges persist in integrating theory with practice in certain domains. This paper aims to synthesize exemplary applications of fluid mechanics in diverse engineering fields, illustrating its crucial role in addressing practical challenges. Additionally, it explores current problems and limitations in fluid dynamics applications, such as numerical simulation accuracy, multiphase flow complexity, and fluid-structure interaction nonlinearity. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for future fluid mechanics development, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, advanced computational methods, and the seamless integration of experimental techniques and theoretical research. Through these discussions, this paper endeavors to offer insights into the ongoing development of fluid mechanics, fostering its broader application and deeper exploration within engineering disciplines.
