Title of the Module: NATURE OF FLUID MECHANICS

Overview:

The term "fluid" in everyday language typically refers only to liquids, but in the realm of
physics, fluid describes any gas or liquid that conforms to the shape of its container. Fluid
mechanics is the study of gases and liquids at rest and in motion. This area of physics is divided
into fluid statics, the study of the behavior of stationary fluids, and fluid dynamics, the study of
the behavior of moving, or flowing, fluids. Fluid dynamics is further divided into
hydrodynamics, or the study of water flow, and aerodynamics, the study of airflow. Applications
of fluid mechanics include a variety of machines, ranging from the water-wheel to the airplane.
In addition, the study of fluids provides an understanding of a number of everyday phenomena,
such as why an open window and door together create a draft in a room. Almost everyday in our
lives, we are experiencing forces created by fluids. Fluid is any substance that has the ability to
flow and has no definite shape. Liquids and gases are fluids. When you swim, drink using a
straw, breathe, or flying a kite are examples of forces that exists in fluids.

Learning Outcomes (LOs):

 Defined fluid mechanics;

 Described fluid pressure;
 Identified the relationship between pressure and gravity;
 Determined the difference between fluid statics and fluid dynamics;
 Explained how several things are associated with the fluid mechanics;
 Realized the significance of fluids and fluid mechanics in our daily lives

Keywords/Concepts:

Fluid - any substance, whether gas or liquid, that conforms to the shape of its container.
Pressure - The ratio of force to surface area, when force is applied in a direction perpendicular
to that surface.
Mechanics - the area of physics concerned with the motions of macroscopic objects.
Gravity - is a force of attraction that exists between any two masses, any two bodies, any two
particles.
