Fluid mechanics in everyday life

There is air around us, and there are rivers and


seas near us. ‘The flow of a river never ceases to
go past, the air and the water of rivers and seas
are always moving. Such a movement of gas or
liquid (collectively called ‘fluid’) is called the
‘flow’, and the study of this is ‘fluid mechanics’.
While the flow of the air and the water of rivers
and seas are flows of our concern, so also are the
flows of water, sewage and gas in pipes, in
irrigation canals, and around rockets, aircraft,
express trains, automobiles and boats. And so too
is the resistance which acts on such flows.
Throwing baseballs and hitting golf balls are all
acts of flow.
Furthermore, the movement of people on the
platform of a railway station or at the intersection
of streets can be regarded as forms of flow. In a
wider sense, the movement of social phenomena,
information or history could be regarded as a flow,
too. In this way, we are in so close a relationship to
flow that the ‘fluid mechanics’ which studies flow
Fluid mechanics is that branch of science

which deals with the behavior of the fluids

(liquids or gases) at rest as well as in motion.

This branch of science deals with the static,

kinematics and dynamic aspects of fluids.

The study of fluids at rest is called fluid

statics.
The study of fluids in motion, where

pressure forces are not considered, is called

fluid kinematics and if the pressure forces

are also considered for the fluids in motion,

that branch of science is called fluid

dynamics.
Fluid mechanics may be classified into
three categories:
1. Fluid statics: The study of fluid at rest is called fluid statics.

2. Fluid kinematics: The study of fluids in motion, without considering the

pressure forces or causes of motion.

3. Fluid dynamics: The study of fluids in motion, considering the pressure

forces or causes of motion.
