Could somebody explain the ways that fluids move?

I understand the basics of Bernoulli's equation, but that is about it. I have a final exam tomorrow, and my textbook is rubbish for this topic. What formulas should I use if I'm given a problem? What concepts and prior knowledge should I know if given a problem to find a minimum flowing velocity or the nature of a flow, or how far away a flow will reach?

I know that I am asking for an explanation of an entire topic, but I only need an answer at the high school level. I guess I'm being optimistic that somebody wil take the time to help me out.
