8: Fluid Mechanics

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

This chapter describes the basic notions of fluid mechanics, discusses a few core problems of statics and dynamics of ideal and viscous fluids, and gives a very brief, rather superficial review of such a complicated phenomenon as turbulence. In addition, the viscous fluid flow discussion is used as a platform for an elementary introduction to numerical methods of the partial differential equation solution - whose importance extends well beyond this particular field.
