Abstract
Fluid dynamics, the study of fluid flow, is an important subset of fluid mechanics. It is based on the conservation laws of mass and momentum, moment of momentum to study the velocity and pressure of fluid flow, influential factors and their applications. In this chapter, we will first introduce the studying approaches (Lagrangian approach and Eulerian approach) and basic concepts of fluid flow. Then we will present continuity equation of fluid motion. Furthermore, we also show differential equations of motion for inviscid/viscous fluid and their corresponding Bernoulli’s integral. Finally, we discuss momentum equation for steady flow and its application.
