		Fluid mechanics (also called fluid dynamics) is the study of fluids, that is liquids and gases.
		The foundational axioms of fluid mechanics are the conservation laws, specifically, conservation of mass, conservation of momentum (also known as Newton's second law), and conservation of energy These are based on classical mechanics and are violated in relativistic mechanics.
		The central equations for fluid mechanics are the Navier-Stokes equations, which are non-linear differential equations that describe fluid flow.

	Fluid Mechanics
		Fluid mechanics is basic to such diverse fields as aeronautics, chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering, meteorology, naval architecture, and oceanography.
		Fluid mechanics can be subdivided into two major areas: fluid statics, or hydrostatics, which deals with fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, concerned with fluids in motion.
		This branch of fluid mechanics deals with the laws of fluids in motion; these laws are considerably more complex and, in spite of the greater practical importance of fluid dynamics, only a few basic ideas can be discussed here.

	Overview of Fluid Mechanics Theory
		By definition, a fluid is a material continuum that is unable to withstand a static shear stress.
		For example, for fluid flowing in a pipe, V could be the average fluid velocity, and D would be the pipe diameter.
		Typically, viscous stresses within a fluid tend to stabilize and organize the flow, whereas excessive fluid inertia tends to disrupt organized flow leading to chaotic turbulent behavior.

		Fluid mechanics is the study of the effects of forces and energy on liquids and gases.
		Fluid dynamics, in contrast, is a highly developed branch of science that has been the subject of continuous and expanding research activity since about 1840.
		The phenomena of fluid motion are governed by known laws of physics--conservation of mass, the laws of classical mechanics (Newton's laws of motion), and the laws of thermodynamics.

		Fluid mechanics is the study of the behavior of fluids in response to applied forces.
		For example, acoustical levitation, the use of sound waves to hold uncontained fluid specimens in position, is difficult on Earth because high-intensity sound waves tend to cause the fluid to deform and become unstable.
		Fluid processes in experiments on Earth may be similar to the intricate processes that take place in a planetary atmosphere or the interior of a star.

		Branches of fluid dynamics include hydrodynamics (study of liquids in motion) and aerodynamics (study of gases in motion).
		Hydrodynamics is often used synonymously with fluid dynamics, since most of the results from the study of liquids also apply to gases.
		A plasma is also a fluid (see states of matter) and can be described by many of the principles of fluid mechanics, but its electromagnetic properties must also be taken into account.
