Summary

Want to know how fluids behave when they are at rest or in motion? Fluid mechanics shows you how energies are transformed in fluids and how you can use them cleverly in practice. You'll learn how to calculate pressure and compressive forces, understand how fluids flow in pipes, and discover how pumps work or the aerodynamics around cars and planes. You'll be able to solve not only basic but also more complex engineering problems - like designing an efficient piping system or understanding why an aircraft stays in the air. This knowledge will open doors to the world of hydraulics, pneumatics and other modern technologies.
