Fluid Mechanics
Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids and the forces on them. (Fluids include liquids, gases, and plasmas.)A longer answerFluid mechanics is a branch of physics which deals in the study of Properties of Fluid(that is gases or liquids). Fluid mechanics broadly classified in to two types:1. Fluid statics2. Fluid dynamicsFluid statics deals with the properties of fluid at rest and fluid dynamics deals with the properties of fluids in motion. Fluid dynamics is further divided in to two branches a:1. Hydro dynamics2. Aero dynamicsHydro dynamics deals with the properties of liquids in motion , where as Aero dynamics delas with the properties of gases in motion.Computational fluid mechanics is another branch of fluid mechanics where it uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve the problems related to fluid flows.
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
This is a mixture of liquids (ex.: liquid air).
Solids don't change their size or shape.
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
Mass and volume
The three properties of matter are solids, liquids, and gases.
Mass and volume
the branch of physics that deals with the mechanical properties of air and other gases.
the branch of physics that deals with the mechanical properties of air and other gases
liquids and gases both have an Indefinite shape. nd some liquids turn into gases with heat.
A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.
