Description
Fluid Mechanics is the study of fluids (liquids and gases) and the forces acting on them. It includes two main areas: fluid statics (fluids at rest) and fluid dynamics (fluids in motion). Key concepts involve understanding pressure, buoyancy, flow rates, viscosity, and turbulence. Fluid Mechanics is vital for applications in engineering, aerodynamics, hydraulics, and environmental sciences.
