    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1)  fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3)  fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are
