AI-Generated Summary

Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids (liquids and gases) and their behavior under various forces. It encompasses two main branches: fluid statics, which deals with fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, which examines fluids in motion. Key concepts include viscosity, pressure, density, and flow rate. Applications span engineering, environmental science, and medicine, such as in aerodynamics, hydraulic systems, and blood circulation. Fundamental equations like Bernoulli’s principle and the Navier-Stokes equations govern fluid behavior. Understanding fluid mechanics is essential for designing efficient systems, predicting weather patterns, and addressing challenges in energy and climate change. It bridges theoretical physics with practical, real-world solutions.
