Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of fluids (liquids and gases) and their behavior when subjected to various forces.
The fundamental principles of fluid mechanics include conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy. These principles help to understand the behavior and movement of fluids.
Fluid mechanics has various applications in engineering, such as designing aircrafts, pumps, turbines, and pipes. It is also used in weather prediction, oceanography, and medical science.
Laminar flow refers to the smooth and orderly movement of fluid particles, while turbulent flow is characterized by irregular and chaotic movement of fluid particles. Laminar flow is usually observed at low velocities, while turbulent flow occurs at high velocities.
Bernoulli's principle states that in a flowing fluid, an increase in velocity results in a decrease in pressure. This principle is applied in various engineering applications, such as in the design of airplane wings and carburetors.
