If we're still talking about fluidics and not some other subject:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

"The physical basis of fluidics is pneumatics and hydraulics, based on the 
theoretical foundation of fluid dynamics."

https://www.britannica.com/technology/fluidics

"fluidics, the technology of using the flow characteristics of liquid or 
gas to operate a control system."

The paper I cited used a gas, namely the stuff we breathe.
