Differential analysis is used when it is needed to determine the detail information of the flow i.e. pressure or stress variation along any point.
Explanation:
In fluid mechanics, sometime situation arise in which we need to determine in detail about flow characteristics like stress and pressure variation.
To find these flow characteristics some relationship need to imply either at a point or at very small volume and analysis of flow at very small point is known as differential analysis.
Example: pressure and shear stress variation in a line of the wing of a plane.
