Fluid mechanics, an ancient Greek concept, was first introduced by Archimedes around 250 BC. The first law of fluid mechanics, the conservation of mass, states that mass is conserved within a control volume for constant-density fluids. Isaac Newton, an ancient Greek, first described fluid viscosity in his 1687 Principia. The origin of fluid dynamics can be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci, who was educated at Plato's Academy. The Reynolds theory of fluid mechanics explains the relationship between mass and viscosity.
This post reports on the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s launch of a new Small Hydro Policy, designed to boost clean energy generation in North East India by tapping into the region's vast hydro potential. It highlights major hydro projects—such as the Upper Karnali initiative, accelerated hydropower development in Himachal Pradesh, and international advancements like Japan's first tidal grid connection and U.S. wave energy breakthroughs. The roundup also reviews global climate resilience initiatives, urgent water pollution challenges (from mercury and microplastics to algal blooms), and digital innovations in water informatics and AI, all shaping the future of water resources management and sustainable engineering Click here to know more.
