Fluids mechanics and hydraulic Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics and engineering that deals with the study of fluids (both liquids and gases) at rest or in motion. It focuses on understanding the behavior of fluids and the forces acting upon them. Hydraulic engineering, on the other hand, is a specific application of fluid mechanics that deals with the use and control of fluids, particularly water, in engineering projects and systems. Fluid mechanics involves studying properties of fluids, such as density, pressure, viscosity, and flow velocity. The fundamental principles governing fluid behavior include: 1. Fluid statics: Examining fluids at rest and understanding concepts such as pressure, buoyancy, and hydrostatic forces. 2. Fluid dynamics: Investigating fluids in motion, including the flow patterns and forces associated with fluid flow, such as drag, lift, and viscosity effects. Applications of fluid mechanics and hydraulics can be found in various engineering disciplines, i...
