    Fluid mechanics deals with the behavior of fluids and their interactions with boundaries and other fluids. It can be divided into hydrodynamics, hydraulics, gas dynamics, and aerodynamics depending on the type of fluid. Fluids are substances that can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids. A key concept is the no-slip condition where fluid layers next to a surface slow down due to viscosity. There are various classifications of fluid flow problems based on factors like compressibility and turbulence. A system is defined as a collection of matter with boundaries, and can be open or closed depending on whether mass and energy can cross the boundaries.

    Fluid mechanics is a subcategory of mechanics which is the oldest physical
    science dealing with both stationary or statics and moving bodies or dynamics under the
    influence of forces. Fluid mechanics deals with the behavior of fluids and their
    interaction with solids or another fluid in boundaries, static fluids for those at rest and
    fluid dynamics for those in motion. According to the type of fluid, fluid mechanics can be
    hydrodynamics which has a subcategory hydraulics, gas dynamics and aerodynamics.
    Fluids are substances in liquid or gas state. Fluids cannot sustain a shear stress
    and deforms continuously unlike solids. The stresses that acts on a surface of a body
    can be normal component or normal stress or the tangential component or shear stress.
    Liquids in containers has constant volumes unlike gases which molecules are in
    constant motion that spreads and fills out every available spaces.
    The is a condition called no-slip condition that happens a fluid in contact with a
    surface sticks slowing down the adjacent layer, the adjacent of the adjacent layer and
    so on due to viscosity. The layer adjacent to the wall is called boundary layer and it is
    significant for the fluid’s velocity profile.
    There are certain classifications of fluid flow problems. These are viscous versus
    inviscid region of flow, internal versus external flow, compressible versus
    incompressible flow, laminar versus turbulent flow, natural or unforced versus forced
    flow, steady versus unsteady flow and one-, two-, or three-dimensional flow.
    System is defined as a collection of items or matter while boundary is the region
    outside of it. These two are separated by either real or an imaginary surface called the
    boundary. A system can be closed or open depending on whether it is a fixed mass or a
    control volume. A closed system is sometimes call a control mass or just a system
    because it has a fixed mass and no other mass can cross its boundary. Its volume can
    change and heat can still cross its boundary but a special case called isolated system
    don’t allow even energies to pass through. An open system or sometimes call control
    volume is a properly selected region which is usually enclosed by a nozzle, compressor
    or a turbine where both mass and energy can pass through. The boundaries of a control
    volume are called control surface whether it is real or imaginary.
    This is what I have learned after reading our Module 1 of Fluid Mechanics and
    I’m looking forward of gaining more knowledge. Thank you.
    Units of Measurement that We Will Need in Fluid Mechanics:
    1. Length (m, ft, in)
    2. Time (s)
    3. Area (m2)
    4. Mass (kg)
    5. Velocity (m/s)
    6. Acceleration (m/s2)
    7. Shear Stress (N/m2)
    8. Pressure (Pa)
    9. Density (kg/m3)
    10. Kinematic Viscosity (m2/s)
