This note
explains the following topics: introduction to fluid mechanics, Static pressure
of liquids, Pressure measuring devices, Floating bodies, Fluid flow, Flow
through pipes, Flow through orifices, mouthpieces, notches and weirs, Measuring
instruments, Dimensional analysis and pumps.
This PDF covers the
following topics related to Fluid Mechanics : Fluids Mechanics and Fluid
Properties, Forces in Static Fluids, Fluid Dynamics, Real Fluids, Dimensional
Analysis.
The course
provides a survey of continuum fluid mechanics. Part I gives an extensive
development of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Part II focuses on
their solution in various limits: vorticity dynamics, compressible flow,
potential flow, and viscous laminar flow. The emphasis is on fluid physics and
the mathematics necessary to efficiently describe the physics.
