This lecture revisits concepts from electromagnetism to help students connect them with fluid mechanics. It covers the continuum approach, parameters like velocity and acceleration, and the Eulerian description using velocity fields and streamlines. The instructor explains the concept of conservation laws in fluid mechanics, focusing on mass, kinetic energy, and momentum conservation. The lecture also discusses the construction of control volumes and surfaces to apply conservation laws effectively.
