This lecture introduces the foundations of incompressible fluid mechanics, aiming to provide a quantitative description of flow problems. The course covers integral and differential conservation laws, deriving general flow equations and solving them. The schedule includes topics like hydrostatics, Bernoulli's principle, diffusion, fluid kinematics, and more. The instructor emphasizes the importance of exercises, discussions, and self-study to grasp the theory and prepare for simulations in computational fluid dynamics.
