Fluid flow which is not subjected to influence of the fluid viscosity.

It may happen for low-viscosity fluids or for the very high Reynolds numbers.

In this case case Navier-Stokes fluid flow momentum equation simplifies  simplifies to Eauler Eauler fluid flow momentum equation.


This flow regime happens for high Reynolds numbers

In many practical applications the fluid viscosity can not be neglected even for the low-viscosity fluids.

This happens for example, when fluid flow is restricted by happening close to solid boundaries which interaction (a friction) with the fluid depends substantially on fluid viscosity.
