context_page_description: Hydraulics is a topic of science and engineering subject dealing with the mechanical properties of liquids.
  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.
