Continuum hypothesis:
fluid is made up of fluid particles;
each particle contains numerous molecules;
infinitesimal particles of a fluid are tightly packed together

Thus, motion of a fluid is described in terms of fluid particles rather than individual
molecules.

This motion can be described in terms of the velocity and acceleration of the fluid
particles

At a given instant of time, description of any fluid property may be given as a function
of fluid location

Representation of fluid parameters as function of spatial coordinates is termed a field

representation of the flow

Fluid parameters are functions of position ant time. For example, temperature in the
room is completely specified by temperature field

T T x, y , z , t
