[[File:AeroTurboDomain.PNG|thumb|upright= 1.35|Figure 2.1 – Aero-thermo domain of turbomachinery]]
Figure 2.1 (shown right) represents the [[aerodynamics|aero]]-[[thermodynamics|thermo]] domain of turbomachinery. The horizontal axis represents the energy equation derivable from The [[first law of thermodynamics]].<ref name="Shepherd"/><ref name="Wislicenus"/> The vertical axis, which can be characterized by Mach Number, represents the range of fluid compressibility (or elasticity).<ref name="Shepherd"/><ref name="Wislicenus"/> The Z-axis, which can be characterized by [[Reynolds number]], represents the range of fluid viscosities (or stickiness).<ref name="Wislicenus"/> Mathematicians and physicists who established the foundations of this aero-thermo domain include:<ref name="wood"/><ref name="streeter"/> [[Isaac Newton]], [[Daniel Bernoulli]], [[Leonhard Euler]], [[Claude-Louis Navier]], [[Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet|George Stokes]], [[Ernst Mach]], [[Nikolay Yegorovich Zhukovsky]], [[Martin Kutta]], [[Ludwig Prandtl]], [[Theodore von Kármán]], [[Paul Richard Heinrich Blasius]], and [[Henri Coandă]].
