Conservation of Momentum in Fluid Flow: The Navier-Stokes Equations

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 4 Differential Relations for Fluid Flow, Part 4: A brief discussion of the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations, the differential equations for conservation of momentum in fluid flow. Euler's equation for inviscid flow is also briefly discussed. This video includes a sample problem that involves showing that a given velocity vector field satisfies the Navier-Stokes equations.
