Aerostatics

n. science of the equilibrium of floatable devices (i.e. air ballon, blimp, dirigible)

Aerostatics is the study of gases that are not in motion. The corresponding study of gases in motion is aerodynamics. It is a subfield of fluid statics that focuses on gases.Aerostatics studies density allocation, especially in air. One of the applications of this is the barometric formula.Fields of study include:The kinetic theory of gasesGas pressurePressure measurementGas densityGas diffusion in soilPartial pressures in gas mixturesAtmospheric pressure fluctuationComposition of mountain airCross-section of the atmosphere

(n.)
