• Navier-Stokes equations are partial differential equations that govern the movement of incompressible fluids
  • They constitute the basic equations of fluid dynamics
  • Velocity, pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity are the main properties that should be considered simultaneously when conducting a fluid flow examination.
  • The equations are based on the laws of conservation
    • Conservation of mass: Continuity equation
    • Conservation of momentum: Newton’s second law
    • Conservation of energy: First law of thermodynamics
