To determine

Meaning of kinematics and explain the fluid kinematics.

Explanation of Solution

In kinematics, we study the motion of a body and study of forces is not involved. Kinematics involves only the result of motion without knowing the type of the forces acting or acted on the body. In simple meaning, the study of forces without knowing the forces is called kinematics.

The fluid kinematics deals with the movement of the fluid and fluid can be liquid or material which has fluid properties. In fluid kinematics, only the study of the motion of the fluid is considered. The study of the motion of fluid without considering the forces is called fluid kinematics. Using mainly two methods properties of the fluid can be defined in fluid kinematics; the first one is the Eulerian method and the second one is the Lagrangian method.
