Fluid mechanics: definition

what is fluid mechanics? Fluid mechanics is a branch of applied mechanics that is concerned with the statics and dynamics of liquids and gases. The analysis of the behavior of fluids is based upon the fundamental laws of applied mechanics that relate to the conservation of mass, energy, and momentum. OR, A fluid is a substance that deforms continuously under the application of shear stress. CONTINUUM CONCEPT  The concept of the continuum is a kind of idealization of the continuous description of matter where the properties of the …
