6. Viscous Fluid Flow (Contd.)

The chapter covers the fundamentals of viscous fluid flow, leading up to the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equation. Key concepts include vorticity, shear strains, and the rate of rotation within fluids, which are essential for understanding fluid mechanics. Applications of these concepts in real-world scenarios and their interrelation with other physical laws are emphasized throughout the discussions.
