The development of fluid dynamics and its future application

Abstract The development of fluid dynamics is essential to many related topics in mechanics. With the emerging high technology, people have begun to discover more functions suitable for fluid mechanics. This article mainly summarizes the following two aspects. One is to review the historical development of fluid mechanics on the time axis, and to summarize the important achievements of fluid mechanics in recent years. The second is to summarize the practical applications of fluid mechanics in aviation, engineering application, shipbuilding and daily life. It points out in detail the shortcomings and deficiencies in the development of computational fluid mechanics so far, and points out the direction for the future development of computational fluid mechanics.
