time and spatial variables | |
velocity of Continuum Body | |
density of Continuum Body | |
stress tensor of Continuum Body | |
sum of all body forces exerted on Continuum Body | |
volumetric density of all contact forces exerted on Continuum Body | |
Material derivative of the Continuum Body motion |
In Fluid Mechanics it's known as Navier–Stokes equation and based on specific view of the stress tensor.
\sigma = - p - \mu \cdot \left[ \Delta {\bf u} + \frac{1}{3} {\bf u} \nabla {\bf u} \right] |
