= Fluid parcel
{wiki=Fluid_parcel}
A fluid parcel refers to a small, defined volume of fluid that is considered as a single entity for the purpose of analysis in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. This concept is commonly used in studies of fluid flow, atmospheric science, oceanography, and various engineering applications. Key characteristics of a fluid parcel include: 1. **Fixed Volume**: Although the fluid parcel is typically small, its volume is treated as constant during the analysis, simplifying calculations related to mass, density, and flow properties.
