Fluid Definition
 Fluids are any materials that
flow when force is applied.

 On Earth, fluids conform to the

shape of a container.

Examples: water, air, and carbon dioxide.

 Drop of water  Baking soda
 Particles of sand
 A diamond
 Steel beam
 A feather
 A chunk of coal
 Oxygen

 Is
steel
a
fluid?
Lec # 1 3rd Semester - FM1 8
 Steel melts
and pours like
a fluid in its
molten state.

Lec # 1 3rd Semester - FM1 9

Fluid Mechanics
 Fluid mechanics deals with the behavior of
fluids at

rest ( Fluid statics )

and in motion ( Fluid dynamics )

Lec # 1 3rd Semester - FM1 10

Why study fluids?
 Two of three states of matter are fluids.
 Solids can behave like fluids under many
conditions.
 Earth’s atmosphere contains fluids.
 Profitable industries are based on fluids.
 Models and equations can predict the
behavior of fluids.
 The human body is 80% water.
