In this work, a summary of Leonardo da Vinci’s contribution in the field of fluid mechanics is reported. Some theoretical laws or fluid flows analyzed or drawn by Leonardo are highlighted, such as vortices, flow fields with obstacles, the continuity law, waves, velocity profiles in open channels, as well as some ingenious contributions in the field of hydraulic constructions and machines.
