Navier-Stokes equations

system of nonlinear partial differential equations describing the motion of viscous fluids

Named after

Formula(s) and Quantities

$\begin{matrix} \frac{\partial \vec{u}}{\partial t} + \vec{u} \cdot \nabla \vec{u} - ν \nabla^{2} \vec{u} & = - \frac{1}{ρ} \nabla h \\ \nabla \cdot \vec{u} & = 0 \end{matrix}$
$ν$ represents kinematic viscosity
$u$ represents fluid velocity
$h$ represents fluid pressure
$ρ$ represents fluid mass density
$t$ represents time
