Fluid states
i. Overview
This module defines the basic fields used to describe a fluid on `d`-dimensional space. The core structure `FluidState` contains only the density and velocity fields. Additional fields used by specific balance laws are provided by extension structures.
ii. Key results
- `ScalarField` : A time-dependent scalar field on space.
- `VectorField` : A time-dependent vector field on space.
- `MassDensity` : A time-dependent scalar density field.
- `VelocityField` : A time-dependent vector velocity field.
- `MomentumDensityField` : A time-dependent vector momentum density field.
- `StressTensor` : A time-dependent matrix-valued stress field.
- `BodyForce` : A time-dependent vector body-force field per unit mass.
- `FluidState` : The density and velocity fields of a fluid.
- `FluidInMomentumBalance` : A fluid state with stress and body force.

Time-dependent scalar field on -dimensional space
Given a dimension , a scalar field is a function that assigns a real value to every point in time and -dimensional space.
Time-dependent vector field on -dimensional space
For a given dimension , a vector field is a function that maps a time and a position to a vector in the -dimensional Euclidean space .
Mass density field on -dimensional space
For a given dimension , a mass density field is a time-dependent scalar field that assigns a real value representing the mass per unit volume to every point in -dimensional space at any given time.
Velocity field in dimensions
For a given dimension , a velocity field is defined as a time-dependent vector field. It is a function that maps a time and a position to a velocity vector in the -dimensional Euclidean space .
Momentum density field in dimensions
For a given dimension , a momentum density field is a time-dependent vector field that maps a time and a position to a vector in the -dimensional Euclidean space . This field represents the momentum per unit volume at a specific point in space and time.
Stress tensor field in dimensions
For a given dimension , a stress tensor field is a function that maps each point in time and space to a real matrix. This matrix represents the stress state at that specific time and location.
Body-force field per unit mass in dimensions
For a given dimension , a body-force field per unit mass is a time-dependent vector field on -dimensional space. It is a function that assigns a vector in to each point in time and space , representing the external force acting on the fluid per unit of mass at that specific location and time.
