About Fluid Mechanics
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The page is mostly mind maps, backed by flashcards, quizzes and a few notes. Early topics are the foundations: Fluid Flow 1 sets out units, dimensions and the forces in fluids, while several maps called Fluid Properties cover density, specific weight, specific gravity, vapour pressure, compressibility, surface tension and capillary action.
Where to start
Begin with the first flashcard deck, which runs through fluid variables, dynamic and kinematic viscosity, Newtonian fluids and the difference between solids and fluids in terms of internal stress. Then open the maps on viscosity and non-Newtonian fluids. They link viscosity to shear stress and rate of shear strain, and give an example from the petroleum industry.
- Fluid properties and viscosity.
- Fluids at rest: Hydrostatics and Manometers, Fluid Statics and Buoyancy.
- Fluids in motion: Streamlines, Streaklines, and Pathlines, momentum, Bernoulli and the Energy Equation and the integral control volume maps.
- Flow behaviour: Laminar and Turbulent Flow, Boundary Layer, transition to turbulence and open channel flows.
- Applications and methods: Pumps and Turbomachinery, pipeline hydraulics notes, Experimental Fluid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first to see how the ideas connect. Then take a quiz on the same topic, such as the one on differential relations for fluid flow, the introduction chapter quiz, or the quizzes on governing equations and pipes. Wrong answers show which map branch to reread. Flashcards on similitude, shock waves and dimensional analysis suit short, repeated sessions.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Thermal and Fluid Sciences strand of Mechanical engineering. Nearly all the material is aimed at university level, so teachers can use the maps and notes as ready-made starting points for a class.
Choose one topic from the list, open its map and see how much you can recall before checking the answers.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start in Fluid Mechanics?
Start with the flashcard deck on fluid variables, fluid properties and viscosity, then read the maps on viscosity and non-Newtonian fluids. Once those feel familiar, move on to hydrostatics and manometers, and then to flow topics such as Bernoulli and the energy equation.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 50 mind maps. They cover fluid properties, viscosity, hydrostatics, streamlines and pathlines, momentum, control volumes, laminar and turbulent flow, boundary layers, buoyancy, pumps, similitude and computational fluid dynamics.
Are there quizzes to test myself?
Yes, there are more than 8 quizzes. Titles include the chapter on differential relations for fluid flow, an introduction chapter, governing equations, pipes and a thermo fluids practice final. Use them after reading a map to find topics worth revisiting.
Who are these resources for?
They are mainly for university students who want to revise a topic or fill gaps, and for teachers looking for ready-made material. Almost all of the resources are at university level, with a small share aimed at professional use.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own maps, flashcards, quizzes and notes.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Look for a related map or deck first, since topics such as flow similarity, compressible flow and shock waves appear in several formats. If nothing fits, make your own mind map or flashcards for that topic and use the existing ones as a model.
