Study Notes
Fluid Mechanics Overview
- Fluid mechanics is concerned with the behavior of fluids under various forces and their subsequent effects on the environment.
- Fluid mechanics studies the physical behavior of fluids, including the motion of fluids, and the forces that act upon them.
Fluid Statics
- Fluid statics is concerned with the behavior of fluids at rest, including the pressure and equilibrium of fluids.
- Fluid statics studies the state of fluids when they are not in motion, including the pressure, density, and buoyancy of fluids.
Applications of Fluid Mechanics
- Fluid mechanics has applications in various disciplines, including aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering.
Continuum Mechanics
- In continuum mechanics, matter is modeled as a continuous, rather than discrete, medium.
- Continuum mechanics is concerned with the study of the physical properties of continuous materials, including fluids and solids.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is devoted to the numerical solution of fluid flow problems, using numerical methods and algorithms to simulate the behavior of fluids.
Note
- Fluid mechanics has applications in almost every field, but NOT in the field of pure mathematics.
