Fluid Mechanics Formulas
Essential fluid mechanics formulas for flow rate, drag, buoyancy, and viscosity.
Buoyancy Force (Archimedes' Principle)
Calculate the upward force on an object submerged in fluid. Explains why objects float or sink.
Drag Force Formula
Calculate aerodynamic or hydrodynamic drag on an object moving through fluid. Key to vehicle and aircraft design.
Flow Rate Formula
Calculate the volume of fluid passing through a pipe or channel per unit time. Essential for plumbing and hydraulics.
Mach Number Formula
Calculate an object's speed relative to the speed of sound. Classify flight as subsonic, transonic, or supersonic.
Poiseuille's Law
Calculate fluid flow rate through a pipe based on pressure, viscosity, and pipe dimensions. Used in medical and engineering applications.
