Basic Fluid Mechanics Summary of introductory concepts 12 February, 2007 Introduction Field of Fluid Mechanics can be divided into 3 branches: Fluid Statics: mechanics of fluids at rest Kinematics: deals with velocities and streamlines w/o considering forces or energy Fluid Dynamics: deals with the relations between velocities and accelerations and forces exerted by or upon fluids in motion Streamlines A streamline is a line that is tangential to the instantaneous velocity direction (velocity is a vector that has a direction and a magnitude) Intro…con’t Mechanics of fluids is e
