What is studied in fluid dynamics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases,” according to the American Heritage Dictionary. Fluid dynamics is one of two branches of fluid mechanics, which is the study of fluids and how forces affect them.

What is the use of studying fluid mechanics?

Fluid mechanics helps us understand the behavior of fluid under various forces and at different atmospheric conditions, and to select the proper fluid for various applications. This field is studied in detail within Civil Engineering and also to great extent in Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering.

Why is fluid dynamics hard?

Fluid mechanics is difficult indeed. The primary reason is there seems to be more exceptions than rules. This subject evolves from observing behaviour of fluids and trying to put them in the context of mathematical formulation. Many phenomena are still not accurately explained.

What are the best books on fluid mechanics and dynamics?

What are the best books on vector calculus for fluid mechanics?

For basics of vector calculus required for study of fluid mechanics one should first read second chapter of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics by JD Anderson (Advance Level-1) and 2nd chapter of Kundu Cohen for Einstein indicial notation. Three Other enjoyable books – RL Penton (Advance Level-1) , Tritton (Advance Level-2) , Aris (Advance Level-2) ,

What is the difference between physics and Engineering Fluid Mechanics?

$\\begingroup$The engineering and physics points of view in fluid mechanics are quite different: physicists are more concerned with the equations and the physics of a situation or how it can be generalized whereas engineers are understandably much more interested in flows in particular situations, for particular types of pipe, and so on.$\\endgroup$

How many fluid mechanics videos should I watch on YouTube?

There are a billion serious offerings of Fluid Mechanics on YouTube. You should at least watch a dozen or so to get an idea of what you are getting into. It won’t be easy. But then, nothing worthwhile is. There are other Quora answers to this question.
