This article very badly needs some attention by an expert

This article needs to be formatted into coherent sections ... as it now stands, it is just one very long section.

I split the very long list of "major subfields" into 3 columns and also culled out 2-3 of the list. I find it very difficult to believe that all of the listed items are truly "major subfields" of fluid dynamics. I think (perhaps incorrectly) that many of them really belong in the "Related Articles" subpage. Someone who is an expert in this field should pick out the truly "major subfields" to be left in the main article and re-locate the other items to the "Related Articles" subpage.

The article also needs the "Bibliography" subpage to be created and populated. Milton Beychok 02:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Plan to reduce list of 43 subfields to 13 subfields

Since no one has come forth to shorten the current list of 43 subfields, I plan to reduce that list to 13 as follows unless there is a consensus not to do do:
