Flow and Force: The Physics of Fluids (Liquids & Gases)

Why do things float? How does pressure travel through water? How can fast-moving air create lift? In this hands-on course, we learn how fluids push, flow, and transfer energy. We’ll move from density and buoyancy (Archimedes) to pressure and hydraulics (Pascal), then to flowing fluids and energy (Bernoulli). We’ll end with the big ideas behind fluid dynamics and a look at turbulence: the everyday mystery behind smoke, waves, and weather, and a major unsolved puzzle in physics.
