Key Topics in Fluid Mechanics
Foster, Dayana A fluid refers to a state of matter that yields to shearing or lateral forces. Fluid mechanics is a branch of continuum mechanics which is involved in the study of fluid behavior in motion and at rest. It is categorized into fluid dynamics, which studies the effect of forces on fluid motion, and fluid statics, which studies fluids at rest. The energy equation, continuity equation and momentum principle are the basic fluid mechanics principles....
