Hydromechanics
Hydromechanics (hydro derived from the ancient Greek ὕδωρ hydor) deals with the behavior of fluids and their interactions with the environment. Hydromechanics is divided into hydrostatics, the study of fluids at rest, and hydrodynamics, the study of fluids in motion, i.e. flowing fluids.
