What Are the Best Resources to Understand Fluid Mechanics?

Click For Summary
Understanding fluid mechanics can be challenging, particularly concepts like Bernoulli's equation, pressure, and flow rate. Resources such as Wikipedia are recommended as a starting point, although clarity on specific difficulties is essential for effective assistance. The discussion highlights the importance of identifying particular areas of confusion, such as pressure in different fluids and flow rates. Suggestions include exploring foundational principles like Pascal's Law to build a better understanding. Engaging with targeted resources can help clarify these complex topics.

Does anyone have any links that can explain everything that has to do with fluids...

Such as:

Bernoulli's equation
Pressure
Flow rate
..etc

Any help would be appreciated, i just can't seem to grasp this concept

Well, I guess that really depends on what you're having trouble with. Wikipedia has always been a good starting point for me, but we'd really need to know more about where your understanding is currently for us to be able to help.

Im mostly having trouble finding different pressures for example like in a tube filled with mercury and water... and also finding flow rates. I am pretty sure this is with Bernoulli's equation

That's a very vague question and your subsequent answers don't really say much about what you are actually struggling with. You could spend a lifetime trying to learn everything about fluids.

Anyway, based on what little you've said, I would suggest starting with Pascal's Law.
