where
| 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.
