Fluid Mechanics

Hydrodynamics

Hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion. It’s a branch of fluid mechanics that focuses on how liquids and gases behave when they’re flowing. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Fluid Flow: Describes how fluids move, considering factors like velocity, pressure, and viscosity. Fluid Properties: Key characteristics of fluids, including density, viscosity (resistance to flow), … Read more

Gas Dynamics

Gas dynamics is the study of gases in motion, focusing on their behavior under conditions where pressure, temperature, and velocity change significantly. It involves the application of fluid mechanics principles specifically tailored to compressible gases. This is unlike fluid statics, which deals with fluids at rest. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Compressibility: Gases are highly … Read more
