fluid mechanics branch of mechanics dealing with the properties and behavior of fluids, i.e., liquids and gases. Because of their ability to flow, liquids and gases have many properties in common not shared by solids. The special study of fluids in motion, or fluid dynamics, makes up the larger part of fluid mechanics. Branches of fluid dynamics include hydrodynamics (study of liquids in motion) and aerodynamics (study of gases in motion). Hydrodynamics is often used synonymously with fluid dynamics, since most of the results from the study of liquids also apply to gases. A plasma is also a fluid (see states of matter ) and can be described by many of the principles of fluid mechanics, but its electromagnetic properties must also be taken into account. The study of plasmas in motion is known as magnetohydrodynamics and includes principles from several fields.
Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics which involves the study of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms; that is, it models matter from a macroscopic viewpoint rather than from microscopic. Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research with many problems that are partly or wholly unsolved. Fluid mechanics can be mathematically complex, and can best be solved by numerical methods, typically using computers. A modern discipline, called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is devoted to this approach to solving fluid mechanics problems. Particle image velocimetry, an experimental method for visualizing and analyzing fluid flow, also takes advantage of the highly visual nature of fluid flow.
It is the branch of science that studies how fluids (gases-liquids) flow naturally. it has a wide variety of application that spreads in a huge industries (Milk, Water, Oil, Gas,....etc). If you would like to know more you can find more information from the below link:

As its name suggests it is the branch of applied mechanics concerned with the
statics and dynamics of fluids - both liquids and gases. The analysis of the behaviour of fluids is based on
the fundamental laws of mechanics which relate continuity of mass and energy with force and momentum
together with the familiar solid mechanics properties.
There are many good answers ..... there is nothing for me to add
It is the study of physical forces in fluids.
Fluid mechanics is the application of law of force and motion on the fluid.
SORRY I do not know , so i agree with MR VINOD
Fluids mechanics is like the word says the mechanics of fluids. Completely different from normal mechanics and important for designing pipes, the forces the pipes give on pipe bends, machines, everything connected. But also for marine engineering important. The way the see reacts to structures, currents, waves, frequency.
Fluid mechanics, the branch of science that deals with the study of fluids (liquids and gases) in a state of rest or motion is an important subject of Civil, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering. Its various branches are fluid statics, fluid kinematics and fluid dynamics.
This subject deals with the properties of a fluid like stress & strain conditions,viscosity,type of flow,temp effects,vortex ,pressure,force etc
