Summary

The basic equations in fluid mechanics are briefly recalled, starting from the Navier–Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid. Potential flow theory is quickly introduced, together with the generic boundary value problem satisfied by the velocity potential. Applications are made to a few basic cases, such as uniform accelerated flow around a cylinder and the waves generated by a piston wavemaker.
