Fluid Mechanics

The course of Fluid Mechanics is of great significance for students studying Engineering in any institute.Here on Direct Gate Blog, we will provide all the essential learning material (we can get) for the subject including Books, their Solutions and Lecture Notes as well if possible. So stay tuned!



Course Outline:

The course outline of the Fluid Mechanics course is as follows:

  • Introduction, continuum concept of fluid, properties of fluids.

  • No-slip condition, no-temperature jump condition, Newton’s law of viscosity, Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids, surface tension and capillarity, no-slip condition, no-temperature jump condition, normal stress at a point in shear free fluid, pressure.

  • Basic equation for variation of pressure in non-viscous flow or with fluid in rigid body motion and its reduction to the case of static fluid.
