The steamlines so common in Fluid Mechanics
In Fluid Mechanics, we bring in all we know about Newtonion mechanics and apply them to fluids. This gives us rather interesting and exciting results as this time, our approach to the situation takes a variety of forms analyzing from a systems of particles to just a individual particle as it travels through the fluid.
Given that this is a board subject, it should be said that in fluid mechanics, emphasize is placed more on conceptual thinking than on calculations. Not to say that calculations are not important, but to stress that correct calculations will follow only when correct concepts are applied. The fluids we analyze can either be liquids or gases, in motion or stationary. It should be obvious now that problems faced involving fluid mechanics can be very board and a selective approach is needed in solving them.
Nonetheless, my intent is to not bore the student with an overwhelming amount of concepts. Instead my goal is two-fold: to supply the student with enough foundation material to explain common day phenomena and to approach problems with a rigorous mathematical approach.
