What is fluid and fluid mechanics?

FLUID
Fluid is a substance which continuously flow under action of applied shear stress. or a substance which flow due to its own weight is called FLUID. It could be either liquid or gas .

FLUID MECHNICS
Fluid mechanics is that branch of science which deals with the behaviour of the fluid {liquids or gases} at rest as well as in motion. Thus this branch of science deals with the static, kinematics and dynamic aspect of fluids.

The study of fluid at rest is called fluid static. The study of fluid in motion, where pressure forces are not considered, is called fluid kinematics and if the pressure forces are also considered for the fluid in motion, that branch of science is called fluid dynamics.

TYPES OF FLUIDS
The fluids may be classified into the following five types :

• Ideal fluids
• Real fluid
• Newtonian fluid
• Non-Newtonian fluid
• Ideal plastic fluid.
