The Navier-Stokes equations
i. Overview
The Navier-Stokes equations are a set of partial differential equations that describe the motion of viscous fluid substances. They are fundamental in fluid dynamics and are used to model the behavior of fluids in various contexts, including gas flow and water flow.
This file defines the Navier-Stokes equations as continuity, Cauchy momentum, and a Newtonian stress law. The Cauchy momentum equation supplies the balance-law layer, while `CauchyFlow.IsNewtonian` specializes the stress tensor through pressure and viscosity fields.
ii. Key results
- `NavierStokes` : Classical continuity, Cauchy momentum, and Newtonian stress together. - `ConvectiveNavierStokes` : Classical continuity, convective Cauchy momentum, and Newtonian stress together. - `navier_stokes_iff_convective_navier_stokes` : Equivalence of the two forms when the fields are differentiable.
