continuum theory

Continuum theory refers to a mathematical framework used to study phenomena that involve continuous, smooth, and infinite quantities. It assumes that physical quantities, such as time, space, and matter, are not discrete and can be measured at any point within a given range. This theory allows for the modeling and analysis of phenomena on a macroscopic scale, such as fluid flow, heat transfer, and elasticity, providing a concise representation of their behavior.
