Abstract
This chapter details of the flow motion and the interpretation of the numerical results require a thorough comprehension of fluid mechanics laws and the kinematics of fluid motion. The kinematics is the description of the fluid motion and the particles without taking into account how the motion is brought about. For better understanding the kinematics of the fluid motion, the Jacobian Transformation function, its inverse and its material derivative are explained in detail. Translation, Deformation, Rotation as well as Reynolds Transport Theorem are explained in detail.
