Fluid Mechanics

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies the behavior of liquids and gases in motion. It looks at how fluids move, interact, and respond to forces, such as gravity and pressure. It can also look at how fluids are affected by different properties, such as temperature, density and viscosity. Fluid mechanics is important in many different areas of engineering, such as aerospace, automotive, civil and biomedical engineering. It is used to not only analyze the behavior of fluids, but also to design equipment and systems, such as aircraft wings and turbines, as well as pipes and tunnels. Its applications also extend to biomechanical systems, including the human circulatory and respiratory systems.
