A branch of mechanics, considered part of continuum mechanics.
Its subfields broadly divide into fluid statics, which treats states at rest, and fluid dynamics, which treats motion. (In Japan, however, some people do not clearly distinguish the 2.) In engineering, it is sometimes divided into hydraulics, dealing with water, and aerodynamics, dealing with air.
Fluid mechanics also treats only electrically neutral, nonionized fluids; partly or fully ionized fluids are treated in plasma physics or magnetohydrodynamics. However, some aspects remain essentially identical to fluids, such as Rayleigh-Taylor instability without magnetic fields.
力学の一分野であり、連続体力学の一部と見なされる。
下位分類としては、大きく分けると、静止状態を扱う流体静力学(fluid statics)と、運動状態を扱う流体動力学 (fluid dynamics) に分かれる。(ただし、日本では両者をはっきり区別していない人もいる。)工学分野では、水を対象とする水力学(水理学)や空気を対象とする空気力学という分野に分けて扱われることがある。
また、流体力学では電気的に中性で電離していない流体のみを扱い、一部ないし全部が電離した流体はプラズマ物理学や磁気流体力学で扱われる。ただし、磁場がない場合のレイリー・テイラー不安定性など、本質的に流体と変わりない部分も存在する。
