Excerpt from Hydromechanics

Even gases offer some resistance to change of shape at a finite rate, but, when in equilibrium, gases, all common liquids, and even such viscous substances as honey and tar, behave like perfect ?uids. Hence, although the science of hydromechanics is founded upon the consideration of a purely ideal substance, its hydrostatical results are found to be verified in prae tice, and it is only when ?uids in motion are being considered that it becomes necessary to take account of their viscosity.
