Departments:Mechanical EngineeringIn this article, I will explain the differential equations of fluid motion, i.e., conservation of mass (the continuity equation. So without wasting any time, let us start.
What is differential Analysis?
As a part of this article, it is essential to know what ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringIt is one of the most critical topics whenever. It is related to the resistance a fluid faces in motion. A fluid exerts a force on a body in a different direction. Now the main question is, what is drag? And what do we know about it?
What is Drag?
The definition o ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringHello Friends. I hope you are doing great. Here I am with another exciting topic of fluid mechanics, i.e. flow over bodies. In this article, I will explain the flow of fluids, the flow rate, their nature, the flow in pipes and much more. Fluid mechanics is all relat ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringHello Friends. I hope you are doing great. In this article, I will cover the nature of flow responsible for the changes in density. The nature of flows responsible for density change is known as compressible flows.
Fluid dynamics and thermodynamics combine for the ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringThe first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Conservation of energy Principle. I will explain what is energy principle is and the following are some important points of the Energy Principle:
The energy principle can be described as the following equation:
...
The Bernoulli’s EquationThe statement of Bernoulli’s Equation is as follows:
In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli’s Equation states about an increase in speed of fluid that occur simultaneously with the decrease in static pressure or decrease in fluid’s potential energy.
After reading the statement, you m ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringIn this article, I will cover one of the essential topics of fluid mechanics as the title shows three crucial topics—the first concerns the conservation of mass and how it plays a critical role in our daily life. The next one involves the conservation of kinetic and ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringBefore starting this important topic there are some of the important terminologies related to the theorem that are frequently used throughout. So let us have a look at them.
System
Some important key points related to the system are as follows:
In thermodynamics, ...
Departments:Mechanical EngineeringFlow visualization widely uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and physical experiments. So following are the types of patterns that can be visualized computationally and experimentally. So without wasting any time, let us start.
Streamlines and Streamtubes

Departments:Mechanical EngineeringHello friend. In this article, I will cover essential points related to fluid kinematics, i.e., what fluid kinematics is and how the motion of the fluids can be explained without describing the forces acting on them. Further, I will explain Lagrangian and Euler abou ...
