The KTU S3 Civil Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulics - (CET203) is a course that covers the principles of fluid mechanics and hydraulics. The course covers topics such as fluid statics, fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's equation, hydraulic grade line, pipe flow, open-channel flow, and boundary layer theory. The course is designed to provide students with a strong understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics and hydraulics FM.
The study of fluid mechanics and hydraulics is essential for students of civil engineering. It is a branch of engineering that deals with the properties of fluids and the force that they exert on solids. The principles of fluid mechanics and hydraulics are used in a variety of engineering applications, such as the analysis of fluid flow, the design of pipes and other hydraulic systems, and the prediction of the effects of fluid flow on structures.

KTU S3 Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulics | CET 203 | Notes (2019 Scheme)
Fluid mechanics FM is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. It is one of the oldest and broadest fields of engineering. Hydraulics is the branch of fluid mechanics that studies the behavior of fluids under the action of forces.
