Abstract
The Anthropological Theory of Didactics has been applied to the field of didactics of mathematics with remarkable success. Fluid Mechanics is a discipline with a strong mathematical background, where mathematics is used for modeling the continuous nature. In addition, the Fluid Mechanics concepts are essential for the future engineer or scientist. For this reason, it is worth thinking whether the content that developed in engineering schools or science faculties are those demanded by the future professionals. The analysis has been done within the context of a case study framed in the Spanish noosphere, more particularly Universities and Companies. In this direction, the objective of this article is to know the institutional distance between the University and society as a demander of technologies based on Fluid Mechanics. To this end, the methodology based on the issuance of a questionnaire to experts focused on aspects such as present and emerging content associated with the Fluid Mechanics of an engineering degree is used. Note that the number of experts selected is reduced so as to consider the study as a sourcing for introducing expert thoughts on the fluid mechanics conception between university and companies. The results highlight the existence of an institutional distance between the University and the Enterprise (as a technology executor) in the conception of contents, thus establishing an area of potential improvement within the noosphere associated with fluid mechanics in Spain.HighlightsQuestionnaire to experts to understand the current institutional relations between University and Company in the Spanish system.Application of the Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD) techniques to Fluid Mechanics.Confirmation of an institutional distance between University and Companies in Fluid Mechanics conceptions.

In the current societies, knowledge is an important aspect to ensure the competitiveness of enterprises
We provide the didactics of mathematics and fluid mechanics with a common thread where the general ideas of Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD) have a place, allowing a controlled extension from the field of didactics of mathematics to the field of didactics of fluid mechanics
Summary
Knowledge is an important aspect to ensure the competitiveness of enterprises. This is crucial to enable the satisfaction of social needs up to a level the regions can increase prosperity and wellbeing [1]. Further in [5], Bosch and Winslow aims to understand how the didactic transpositions works from the wise knowledge to the academic contents for university mathematics education. Such transposition is far from being fully systematically conceived, leading to introduce concepts that may not be fully required by the noosphere. This will be further highlighted along the presented article in relation with the Fluid Mechanical subject
