Introduction
▪ Fluid mechanics deals with the study of all fluids under static and dynamic
situations.
▪ Density (𝜌). The density of a fluid, designated by the Greek symbol (rho) , is defined
as its mass per unit volume.
▪ Fluids for which the shear stress is directly proportional to the rate of strain are called
Newtonian fluids. Because shear stress is directly proportional to the shear strain, a
plot relating these variables (see Fig. 2.6) results in a straight line passing through the
origin. The slope of this line is the value of the dynamic (absolute) viscosity. For
some fluids the shear stress may not be directly proportional to the rate of strain;
these are called non-Newtonian fluids.
