As we all know fluid includes gases and liquids, things which are compressible and sometimes non-compressible and doesn't have a shape as a bulk but might have fixed volume in case of liquids. Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with state of rest or motion of something or somebody under the influence of an external force.
Definition of Fluid Mechanics
"Thus we can define fluid mechanics as the science of liquids and gases"
Fluid mechanics involves many of the same principles of solid statics and dynamics, but fluids is a more complex subject because solids involve the study of forces on discrete bodies, while in fluid bodies flow together.
Applications of Fluid Mehanics
Fluid mechanics has huge number of applications in our everyday life, some of them includes, designing of water supply system, dam spillway designs, shock absorbers and brakes in vehicles, design of ships and submarines, design of aircrafts and rocks, design of windmills and turbines, design of bearings etc.
