    Fluid Plasma
Click For Summary
Plasma is classified as a fluid in a broad sense, similar to gases, due to its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. It possesses viscosity, which contributes to its fluid-like behavior. The unique characteristics of plasma arise from the presence of fully ionized atoms, partially ionized atoms, and free electrons. Understanding plasma's fluid dynamics involves concepts like the equation of continuity. Overall, plasma exhibits fluid properties while also having distinct differences from other fluid types.

Is a plasma a fluid?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's fluid in a generic sense, like a gas is considered fluid. It has viscosity and it flows, and it assumes the geometry of whatever is confining it. It's different because of the presence of nuclei (fully ionized atoms), ions (less than fully ionized atoms) and electrons.
 
ok i see thanks for the answer
 
equation of continuity
