Suject Name: Mechanics of fluids Suject Code:
Class: !"E ci#il eng"
$jecti#e:
The student is introduced to the definition and properties of fluid. Principles of fluid statics,
kinematics and dynamics are dealt with subsequently. The application of similitude and model
study are covered subsequently. After undergoing this course, the student would have learnt fluid
properties and application to real situations of fluid flow.
