Description

Slides of the 11th lecture .

  • Navier-Stokes equations for a Newtonian fluid
  • Inviscid flow assumption and the Euler equation
  • Potential flow (conservation of zero vorticity in inviscid flow dynamics, velocity potential and "Bernoulli"-type momentum balance),



Note: At the beginning we also finish the "Intermezzo" on concepts from Analysis:  Index notation, Einstein summation, Divergence theorem, outer products of vectors. I hope with that added material, the calculations for the viscous force terms in the differential form of Newton's 2nd law are clear.  

Suggested reading: Munson Ch. 6.8 (Navier-Stokes equation), 6.1 (Intro), 6.1.2, 6.1.3 (Deformation of fluid elements and velocity gradients), 6.4 (invicid flow)
