<p>Continuum mechanics is a field that deals with matter without concerning the information that comes out of the inherent properties of atoms. It only models matter from a macroscopic perspective rather than from an atomic or molecular viewpoint. Fluid dynamics is a section of continuum mechanics.</p> Signup and view all the answers
