Yes. You can start learning fluid mechanics on Coursera for free in two ways:

1. Preview the first module of many fluid mechanics courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
2. Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate in fluid mechanics, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎

To learn fluid mechanics effectively, start by enrolling in introductory courses that cover the basic principles and applications. Engage with interactive content, such as videos and quizzes, to reinforce your understanding. Additionally, practice solving problems and applying concepts to real-world scenarios. Joining study groups or online forums can also enhance your learning experience by allowing you to discuss topics with peers and seek help when needed.‎

Fluid mechanics courses typically cover a range of topics, including fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, and the principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. You may also explore specific applications, such as flow in pipes, boundary layer theory, and computational fluid dynamics. Advanced courses might explore into specialized areas like aerodynamics or hydrodynamics, providing a deeper understanding of fluid behavior in various contexts.‎

For training and upskilling employees in fluid mechanics, consider courses like the Analytical Mechanics for Spacecraft Dynamics or Introduction to Engineering Mechanics. These courses provide practical knowledge and skills that can be directly applied in the workplace, enhancing employees' capabilities in fluid mechanics and related fields.‎
