Lecture "zero" (2012) part 2: Derivation of the Equation of Conservation of Momentum

Published: Jan. 16, 2012, 2:27 p.m.

Part 2 of a 3-part review of the derivation of the differential form of the fluid equations, this "pencast" explains the derivation of the equation of conservation of momentum by making a balance of forces of a small (infinitesimal) volume of fluid. Assuming no shearing stresses, it concludes with the Euler equations in vector form.
