   What is fluid mechanics?

   • 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.

   What are the different types of fluid mechanics?

   • Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid statics or the study of fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics or the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications, including mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, geophysics, astrophysics, and biology.

   Why is fluid mechanics important?

   • The importance of fluid mechanics cannot be overstated for applications involving transportation, power generation and conversion, materials processing and manufacturing, food production, and civil infrastructure. For example, in the twentieth century, life expectancy in the United States approximately doubled.

   How does fluid mechanics differ from solid mechanics?

   • It differs from solid mechanics in the sense that fluid does not sustain geometry, and the deformation subjected to external force is plastic and permanent. Three primary variables in a fluid flow are velocity, pressure, and density; these variables are governed by the equations of mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation.

   Why do physicists study fluid mechanics?

   • Physicists study the flow of extremely high temperature gases through magnetic fields in a search for an acceptable method of harnessing the energy of nuclear fusion reactions. Engineers are interested in fluid mechanics because of the forces that are produced by fluids and which can be used for practical purposes.

   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]

   Key Equations. Summary. 14.1 Fluids, Density, and Pressure. 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 ρ = m V ρ = m V. The SI unit of density is kg/m 3.

    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.
