Usual form of momentum for incompressible flow:

∂vi ∂ ∂p ∂vi
ρ +ρ (v i v j ) = − +µ
∂t ∂x j ∂xi ∂x j ∂x j

In this case, the energy equation is not needed to find vi & p .

Incompressible Inviscid Equations

In this case we assume that the effects of viscous stresses are small compared to
acceleration and pressure forces:

∂ν j
Mass: =0

These are known as the incompressible Euler equations.

Incompressible Potential Flow


K
In potential flow, we assume the flow is irrotational (i.e. ∇ × V = 0 ). This allows the
velocity to be written as the gradient of a scalar potential:

∂φ
νi = , φ = Potential
∂xi

∂φ j
Mass: =0
∂x j ∂x j

∂ 2φ ∂ 2φ ∂ 2φ
Also written out as: + + = 0
∂x 2 ∂y 2 ∂z 2
or
∇2φ = 0, ∇2 ≡ Laplacian

This is a single equation for a single unknown φ . It is the same for steady and unsteady
flows.
