Theoretical physics in the context of fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that employs mathematical models and analytical methods to study and explain the behavior of fluids at rest and in motion. It seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing fluid flow, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, and to develop predictive tools for analyzing complex fluid systems. Theoretical physics complements experimental fluid mechanics by providing a conceptual framework and a deeper understanding of the underlying physical phenomena. By integrating with other areas of physics, it contributes to a broader perspective on the natural world, enabling advances in fields such as aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and plasma physics.
