Introduces the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, covering mass and momentum conservation, external forces, viscous stresses, and the conversion of surface integrals to volume integrals.
Explores viscosity in Newtonian fluids, discussing shear stress, shear strain rate, and compressibility, with examples of shear thickening and shear thinning behaviors.
Focuses on velocity boundary layer equations in laminar flow and covers mass and momentum conservation, Navier-Stokes equations, and the Reynolds number.
