1. A method for estimating, at a first object in a fluid, a velocity of the fluid relative to a second object, comprising:

  • determining an acceleration of the first object relative to the second object;

    determining a dynamic pressure of the fluid on the first object;

    determining a thrust vector of the first object relative to the second object; and

    estimating the velocity of the fluid relative to the second object in three dimensions, based on the determined acceleration, the determined dynamic pressure, the determined thrust vector and an assumption that a speed of the fluid along a single dimension and relative to the second object is zero.
