Water and air do not have a form; they change shape and flow. When they flow, they move things and transfer heat. Fluid mechanics deals with such flows. The author would like to explain the basics of fluid mechanics, the important Bernoulli's theorem, cavitation that is one of the causes of component damage, how to prevent it, and pressure loss in piping. TS Consulting refers to these technologies when considering and solving problems related to fluids. The equation of motion of a fluid is complex, and it is extremely difficult (probably impossible) to solve it analytically, expect in very special cases. Here, the author introduced calculations for incompressible fluid in laminar flow between parallel plates and in a pipe, since it can be solved using high school mathematics. In the "convection heat transfer" page, the author introduces a calculation of heat transfer coefficient where the motion equation of fluid is applied in the boundary layer, so please see it.
