Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, civil, chemical and biomedical engineering, geophysics, astrophysics, and biology. It can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest.

In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about fluid mechanics published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on biomedical engineering, geophysics, astrophysics, fluid statics, inviscid and viscous fluids, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in fluid mechanics as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
