ABSTRACT

Hydrodynamics is the study of water flow. It helps us to understand how water behaves when it flows in pipes and channels and to answer such questions as – what diameter of pipe is needed to supply a village or a town with water? How wide and deep must a channel be to carry water from a dam to an irrigation scheme? What kind of pumps may be required and how big must they be? These are the practical problems of hydrodynamics.
