Flow is the study of the motion of fluids, such as liquids and gases. It is a branch of fluid mechanics, which is the science of the behavior of fluids. Poisson, a French mathematician and physicist, made significant contributions to the study of flow in the 19th century. His work on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of viscous fluids, is particularly well-known.
