What is Hydraulics?
[[File:Table_of_Hydraulics_and_Hydrostatics,_Cyclopaedia,_Volume_1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Table of Hydraulics and Hydrostatics, from the 1728 ''Cyclopaedia''.]] '''Hydraulics''' is a topic of [[science]] and [[engineering]] subject dealing with the mechanical properties of [[liquid]]s. Many machines work on hydraulic power. One of the founders of modern hydraulics was [[Benedetto Castelli]], a student of [[Galileo Galilei]]. [[Fluid mechanics]] provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the [[engineering]] uses of fluid properties. == Related pages == *[[Archimedes' screw]] *[[Hydrology]] == Other websites == * [http://www.iahr.org International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR)] * [http://home.wxs.nl/~brink494/frm_e.htm visualization of hydraulic concepts] * [http://www.nfpa.com Information about Fluid Power is also available on the National Fluid Power Association web-site nfpa.com] * [http://www.floodrisk.net Decision tree to choose an uncertainty method for hydrological and hydraulic modelling] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601205453/http://floodrisk.net/ |date=2013-06-01 }} {{wikibookspar||School science/Hydraulics demonstration}} [[Category:Engineering]]
