Momentum conservation equation

Rate of momentum accumulation in x-direction =

 

Rate of momentum accumulation in y-direction =

 

Momentum in x-direction into fluid element across face A

=
   

Momentum in x-direction leaving
the fluid element across face B =

=
   

Momentum in y-direction entering the fluid element through face C

=
   

Momentum in y-direction leaving the fluid element across face D

=
