Introduction:
Fluid mechanics is concerned with the behaviour ofliquids and gases at rest and in motion. The proper understanding ofmechanics offluids is important in many branches ofengineering: in biomechanics the flow of blood is of interest; ocean currents require a knowledge offluid mechanics; chemical processing of plants require a thorough knowledge offluid mechanics; aeronautical engineers require knowledge offlow ofair over the aircraft to reduce drag and increase lift; mechanical engineers require knowledge of fluid propel1ies to design pumps, water turbines, gas turbines and rockets; civil engineers require fluid mechanics to study river currents and erosion; and environmentalists require knowledge offluid properties for solving pollution problems ofair and water to control flood, irrigation channels, etc.
