10. Motion and Deformation of Fluid Particle

The chapter explores the concepts of fluid mechanics, particularly focusing on boundary layer formations and vorticity. It differentiates between rotational and irrotational flows, explaining how viscous effects dominate within boundary layers, leading to the formation of eddies. The chapter also introduces the stream functions and their role in analyzing fluid flow, including examples that illustrate these principles in practical scenarios.
