system of nonlinear partial differential equations describing the motion of viscous fluids, named after Claude-Louis Navier, George Gabriel Stokes

Defining Formula: $\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\partial \overrightarrow{u}}{\partial t}+\overrightarrow{u}\cdot \mathrm{\nabla }\overrightarrow{u}-\nu {\mathrm{\nabla }}^2\overrightarrow{u}& =-\mathrm{\nabla }h\\ \mathrm{\nabla }\cdot \overrightarrow{u}& =0\end{array}$

$\nu$ represents kinematic viscosity

$u$ represents fluid velocity (free flow)
