Abstract
In this chapter the general principles of fluid motion are discussed. Broadly speaking they are described as the observational principles of mass, momentum and energy. It cannot be over stressed that the concepts treated here in relation to mass, momentum and energy conservation constitute the main tool for the solution of most problems in fluid dynamics. In compressible flow, equations of state or process are also required for a complete solution of the problem.
