This chapter presented the elementary principles of fluid flow both qualitatively and quantitatively. Examples of various computation problems were presented. The problems included solution of transcendental equations, regression analysis and interpolation, numerical integration, and numerical differentiation. The solution techniques for the problems were demonstrated using two alternative approaches: a spreadsheet program (Excel) and a computational software (Mathcad). Several other software programs and tools can also be employed for obtaining the solutions, depending on their accessibility and availability to the user.
