    Fluid kinematics is the branch of fluid mechanics which deals with velocities, acceleration and flow patterns only. It does not have any concern with force or energy that produced velocity or acceleration in the fluid. The motion of fluid molecules from one point in space to another is a function of time as fluid tends to flow easily.
    Fluid Kinetics deals with the study of relation between velocities and acceleration and the forces causing them. Fluid dynamics is the study of mechanism of fluids in motion.
