Fluids are liquids and gases that have the ability to flow in a certain direction when a force is applied to them. When we talk about the mechanical properties of fluids, we look at two primary areas. They're hydrodynamics and hydrostatics, respectively.

Hydrodynamics

Hydrodynamics is the study of the forces acting on or exerted by fluids in physics. It is concerned with fluid motion and the forces acting on solid bodies immersed in fluids. It also concentrates on their movement in relation to them. It is, in a nutshell, the study of fluids in motion. As a result, it is a broad field of research that we shall explore further in the future.

Hydrostatics

The fluids at rest are the subject of this field of physics.
