1.0 Introduction | Fluid Mechanics

This lecture is part of a lecture series on fluid mechanics given by Mr. Abhishek Singh for B.Tech students at MS Institute.
Description
This video explains the concept of solvate water in soil, which refers to water molecules that are chemically bonded with soil particles and become part of their internal structure. Unlike gravitational, capillary, or adsorbed water, solvate water is not available for movement or evaporation. It plays a significant role in influencing the physicochemical behavior of fine-grained soils, particularly in terms of swelling, shrinkage, and plasticity.

The lecture provides clarity on how solvate water affects geotechnical properties of soils and is valuable for understanding soil-water interactions relevant to practical field conditions and theoretical analysis.
