Abstract
In calculating a displacement of a fluid, the displacement is calculated with the fluid regarded as an elastic structural body for a given period of time. This is founded on the idea that fluid is a substance that undergoes transition from a state (1) at time tto a state (2) at time tthrough a motion state in such manner that the fluid can be considered as an elastic body for a short period of time, after which all 'memory' of elastic deformation is lost, leaving only quantities of state.
