Fluid Mechanics

Fluid Properties: Fluids possess characteristics like density, viscosity, and surface tension.
Fluid Statics: Deals with fluids at rest. Key concepts include pressure, Pascal's Law, and hydrostatic forces.
Fluid Dynamics: Focuses on fluids in motion. Concepts include streamlines, path lines, and the continuity equation.
Fluid Kinematics: Describes fluid motion without considering forces. Includes concepts like velocity fields, acceleration.
Fluid Kinematics and Equations of Motion: Explores how forces influence fluid behavior, encompassing concepts like Bernoulli's equation and the Navier-Stokes equations.
Pipe Flow: Examines fluid flow within pipes. Key types include laminar and turbulent flow governed by the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
Boundary Layer Theory: Analyzes the thin layer of fluid near a solid surface where significant velocity changes occur.
Dimensional Analysis and Similarity: Identifies relationships between variables and parameters in fluid systems to predict behaviour via scaling.

This quiz covers essential concepts in Fluid Mechanics, including fluid properties, statics, dynamics, kinematics, and pipe flow. You will explore important principles such as Bernoulli's equation and the effects of viscosity. Prepare to test your understanding of how fluids behave under various conditions.
