Aerodynamics vs Hydrodynamics
Developers should learn aerodynamics when working on simulations, game development, or engineering software that models physical systems, such as flight simulators, automotive design tools, or drone control algorithms meets developers should learn hydrodynamics when working on simulations, computational fluid dynamics (cfd) software, or projects involving fluid-related systems, such as in aerospace, marine engineering, or environmental modeling. Here's our take.
