This document provides an overview of fluid mechanics and wave hydrodynamics. It defines key terms like fluids, waves, currents and tides. It describes the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics including continuity, Euler, Navier-Stokes and Bernoulli's equations. It also covers topics like classification of flows, wave generation, propagation and transformation processes like refraction, reflection and diffraction. The document is intended as an introduction to fluid mechanics and wave concepts for students of coastal and harbour engineering.
