fluid
\flu"id\ (?), a. [l. fluidus, fr. fluere to flow: cf. f. fluide. see fluent.] having particles which easily move and change their relative position without a separation of the mass, and which easily yield to pressure; capable of flowing; liquid or gaseous.
fluid
\flu"id\, n. a fluid substance; a body whose particles move easily among themselves.
note: fluid is a generic term, including liquids and gases as species. water, air, and steam are fluids. by analogy, the term is sometimes applied to electricity and magnetism, as in phrases electric fluid, magnetic fluid, though not strictly appropriate.

fluid
ounce. (a) in the united states, a measure of capacity, in apothecaries' or wine measure, equal to one sixteenth of a pint or 29.57 cubic centimeters. this, for water, is about 1.04158 ounces avoirdupois, or 455.6 grains. (b) in england, a measure of capacity equal to the twentieth part of an imperial pint. for water, this is the weight of the avoirdupois ounce, or 437.5 grains.

FLUID
FLUID (Fast Light User Interface Designer) is a graphical editor that is used to produce FLTK source code. FLUID edits and saves its state in text .fl files, which can be edited in a text editor for finer control over display and behavior.
After designing the application, FLUID compiles the .fl file into a .cxx file, which defines all the objects from the .fl file, and an .h file, which declares all the global ones. FLUID also supports localization of label strings using message files and the GNU gettext or POSIX catgets interfaces.
A simple program can be made by putting all non-interface code (including a
main function) into the .fl file, thus making the .cxx file a single source file to compile. Most programs are more complex than this, so other .cxx files can be written that call the FLUID functions. These .cxx files must #include the .h file, or they can #include the .cxx file so it still appears to be a single source file.| See more at Wikipedia.org... |
Fluid
A fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress regardless of the magnitude of the applied stress. It is a subset of the phases of matter and includes liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
Fluids are also divided into liquids and air. Liquids form a free surface (that is, a surface not created by their container) while gases do not. The distinction between solids and fluids is not so obvious. The distinction is made by evaluating the viscosity of the matter: for example Silly Putty can be considered either a solid or a fluid, depending on the time period over which it is observed.
