Hydromechanics

Hydromechanics, a term sometimes used so as to cover what in this work is dealt with at Hydrodynamics (q.v.) and Hydrostatics (q.v.), as also hydraulics, or the department of engineering which deals with the application of liquids in motion to machinery. Hydromechanics is sometimes limited to the latter department alone. On the other hand, hydraulics is sometimes made to cover hydrodynamics.
