==Definition==

An '''ideal fluid''' is a [[fluid]] (liquid or gas) that has no viscosity, i.e., it does not exert a [[viscous force]] (also called viscous drag) on a body moving through it (or on a body it is moving past).

Most fluids are not ideal fluids, but the ''ideal fluid approximation'' might be valid in some contexts.
