Abstract
This first chapter introduces the equations of fluid mechanics and the various models which we study later. Among the many books published on fluid mechanics, and more generally on the mechanics of continuous media, we recommend that readers consult, for example, references [90, 66, 102, 127, 126, 123] if they seek a more detailed description of the various concepts. Moreover, some of the thermodynamics concepts we use here are very briefly described in Appendix B.
