Trajectory (fluid mechanics)

In fluid mechanics, a **trajectory** refers to the path that a fluid particle follows over time as it moves through the flow field. This concept is essential for understanding how fluids behave under various conditions, and it can be influenced by several factors including velocity, pressure, viscosity, and external forces such as gravity or electromagnetic fields. There are a few key concepts related to trajectories in fluid mechanics: 1. **Lagrangian vs.
