1st term: Accumulation or transient or unsteady state
2nd term: inertial (convective momentum flux)
3rd term: pressure force
4th term: viscous forces
5th term: External body-force
We call this equation Navier-Stokes (NS) equation
Assumptions: (1) (incompressible fluid)
(2) Newtonian fluid
(3) Laminar flow |
