This lecture introduces the fundamental understanding of fluid (liquid and gases) and its kinematics, statically and dynamically,
or it can be called hydrodynamics. This lecture introduces the Pascal, Archimedes, and Bernoulli’s principles and the Equation
of continuity, which includes the physical quantity variables, temperature, pressure, force, and the characteristic of the
fluid (viscosity). The hydrodynamics principles, including the heat transfer process, will be introduced in a mathematical
form. After the midterm, the students will learn more about applying these principles in engineering and bioscience.
To understand the state of matter (gas, liquid, and solid), the physics concept applies to the fluid (gas and liquid) statistically
and dynamically. Students shall understand the fundamental principles and work on the fluid containing of temperature, pressure,
force, and the equation of continuity. The students will be introduced to the concept of viscosity and surface tension, and
finally, the heat transfer process in a dynamical fluid system. The students are also expected to understand the application
of these principles in the engineering field, such as airplane, pump, and venturi meter, and in the bioscience field, such
as blood flow in the human body, and the heart system.

1) discussion participation in the class; 2) homework problem (emphasis put on originality of solutions); 3) midterm exam;
4) final exam, with relative weights of 30% (1+2), 30%(3), 40%(4). A minimum of 60% of the full score is required to pass
the course. That is to say two exams are sufficient (midterm and final) releasing therefore the pressure of having to score
the maximum in one exam only.
