No. (02) 8731-7423 LEGIT MULTIVECTOR REVIEW AND TRAINING CENTER FLUID MECHANICS Hydraulics — a branch of science deals with the mechanical properties of liquids, as water and their application in engineering Hydrostaties —a branch of physics which deals with Muids at rest. Hydrodynamics or Fluid Dynamics ~ branch of mechanics which deals with uids in motion Fluids ~ are substances capable of flowing and having particle that easily move and change their relative direction without separation of mass.
