ABSTRACT
This chapter may be used as a text for tutorial or refresher purposes. Each concept is explained and derived mathematically as needed. In keep ing with the concept of minimum mathematics, the vector approach is not used. There are seven tutorial type examples of fully solved problems.
3.2 FLUID KINEMATICS Fluid kinematics is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the geometry of fluid motion without consideration of forces causing motion. It will be assumed that any fluid particle is very large in size with respect to a molecule and is hence continuous, so that we are concerned with a continuum.
