Abstract
Although numerous theories in continuum mechanics in fluid flows have been proposed in the past decades, only theories related to the later chapters will be presented in this chapter. First, definition of description and concepts of deformation, displacement, velocity, and acceleration will be discussed. Then, the main fundamental concepts of the continuum mechanics, i.e., the conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy, are defined.
