Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research, typically mathematically complex. Many problems are partly or wholly unsolved and are best addressed by numerical methods, typically using computers. A modern discipline, called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is devoted to this approach. [2]
Fluid mechanics is a branch of continuous mechanics which deals with a relationship between forces, motions, and statical conditions in a continuous material. This study area deals with many and diversified problems such as surface tension, fluid statics, flow in enclose bodies, or flow round bodies (solid or otherwise), flow stability, etc.
Fluid mechanics is the science of the properties and the behavior of fluids. Fluids are substances which yield in shape to applied external forces in a non-elastic way. In this section, we will study the concept of fluids and introduce their most important properties such as, e.g., their transport properties.
There are two branches of fluid mechanics: Fluid Statics or hydrostatics is the study of fluids at rest. The main equation required for this is Newton's second law for nonaccelerating bodies, i.e. . Fluid Dynamics is the study of fluids in motion.
Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. A fluid is a substance that cannot resist a shear stress by a static deflection and deforms continuously as long as the shear stress is applied.
A fluid is a state of matter that yields to sideways or shearing forces. Liquids and gases are both fluids. Fluid statics is the physics of stationary fluids. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance or object, defined as \(\rho = \frac{m}{V}\). The SI unit of density is kg/m 3.
