Buoyancy
This principle describes the behavior of fluids under pressure. It states that the pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is transmitted equally in all directions and is independent of the shape of the container. In other words, the pressure at a given point in a fluid is the same in all directions and is not affected by the shape or size of the container.
Pascal
Bernoulli
Archimedes
Poiseuille
This principle describes the behavior of objects immersed in a fluid. It states that the buoyant force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. In other words, the buoyant force is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced by the object.

Archimedes
This principle describes the relationship between pressure and velocity in a fluid flowing through a pipe or over a surface. It states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa.
Bernoulli
Poiseuille
Pascal
Archimedes
This principle describes the flow of fluid through a circular pipe. It states that the rate of fluid flow through a pipe is directly proportional to the pressure difference across the pipe and inversely proportional to the fluid's viscosity and the length of the pipe, and is proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the pipe.

Bernoulli
Is a force exerted on an object when it is submerged in a fluid. Is the force that opposes the object's weight and is responsible for making the object float or sink. Is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
Fluid dynamics
Flow rate
Buoyant force
Cohesive forces
The forces that cause fluids to stick together and resist separation. These forces are the result of intermolecular forces between the fluid molecules and are responsible for the fluid's surface tension. Is the property of a fluid that makes it behave as if its surface is a thin, elastic membrane.
Flow rate
Fluid dynamics
Buoyant force
Cohesive forces
Is a measure of the volume of fluid that passes through a given cross-sectional area of a pipe or channel per unit of time. It is commonly expressed in units of volume per unit of time, such as liters per second (L/s) or cubic meters per hour (m3/h). It provides information about the speed and volume of fluid that is moving through a pipe or channel.
