Title 3.1 Types of fluid flow, continuity equation.pdf ✅

Kinematics • is defined as that branch of science which deals with motion of particles without considering the forces causing the motion. • The velocity at any point in a flow field at any time is studied in this branch of fluid mechanics. • Once the velocity is known, then the pressure distribution and hence forces acting on the fluid can be determined.

Types of fluid flow 1. Steady and unsteady flow 2. Uniform and non-uniform flow 3. One , Two and Three dimensional flow 4. Rotational and Irrigational flow 5. Laminar and Turbulent flow 6. Compressible and Incompressible flow
