Preface :

Fluid mechanics is that branch of science which deals with the behu\·iour of the fluids (liquids or gases) at rest as well. as in motion. Thus this branch of science deals \Vith the static.

kinematics and dynamic aspects of fluids. The study or fluids at rest is cailed fl uid statics. The study of l1uids in motion, where pre. sure forces are not considered, is called fluid kinematics and if the pressure forces are also considered fo r the fluids in motion. that branch of science is called lluid dynamics.
