This section of the encyclopaedia provides in-depth coverage of hydromechanics, the mechanics of fluids such as water, covering concepts from hydrostatics to fluid dynamics, as well as historical context on the development of these principles. The entries are likely to serve as a reference for scholars and professionals in fields related to physics, engineering, and the natural sciences. The opening of this volume introduces the topic of hydromechanics, explaining its significance as the science of fluid behavior both at rest and in motion. It details key historical figures and their contributions, starting with Archimedes and his principles of buoyancy and hydrostatics, and moving through figures such as Blaise Pascal and Newton who advanced the understanding of pressure and motion in fluids. The text establishes a foundation for the principles of hydrostatics, the role of experiments in the development of fluid mechanics, and introduces essential concepts such as fluid pressure, equilibrium of floating bodies, and the relationship between pressure and depth, thereby setting the stage for comprehensive coverage of fluid dynamics.
