It is a complex subject; in fact it's probably the most complex of the physical sciences. Even fairly simple physical systems can have very complicated solutions, and some subjects, such as fluid turbulence, are a long way from being well understood. The study of fluid flow is of great importance in fields like chemical engineering and meteorology.

The SI unit of flow rate is (m^3)/s, but other rates can be used, such as L/min. Flow rate and velocity are related by the product of the cross-sectional area of the flow by its average velocity. The equation of continuity states that for an incompressible fluid, the mass flowing into a pipe must equal the mass flowing out of the pipe.

But when you pour syrup on your pancakes, that liquid flows slowly and sticks to the pitcher. The difference is fluid friction, both within the fluid itself and between the fluid and its surroundings. We call this property of fluids viscosity. In this section, we will investigate what factors, including viscosity, affect the rate of fluid flow.
