I How can I integrate variable velocity in fluid mechanics?

Click For Summary
To integrate variable velocity in fluid mechanics, understanding linear momentum is crucial. Resources like "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot, as well as "Landau and Lifshitz vol. 6," are recommended for deeper insights. Many users struggle to find practical examples of integration in available videos and literature. The choice of reference material may depend on the student's background and specific needs. Exploring these texts can enhance comprehension of momentum in fluid mechanics.

Material: momentum in fluid mechanics
Do you know of any place where I can look up things about the momentum (linear momentum) in fluid mechanics? It's just that when I have a variable velocity and it has to be integrated, I don't quite understand how to do it.

I have looked for videos and things and I can't find that they are integrating.

A very nice book on hydro is Landau and Lifshitz vol. 6.

Okay, thank you very much

Appropriate references are going to vary by the background of the student.
 

Thread 'Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?'

Can someone here check my math? On an euc (electric unicycle), the motor has to exact the same amount of torque onto the wheel+tire that the rider exerts onto the euc, otherwise the frame would rotate (due to the motor exerting an equal in magnitude but opposite direction onto the frame than it does onto the wheel, a Newton third law like pair of torques). Choosing some arbitrary numbers: rider = 200 lb euc = 100 lb rider + euc = 300 lb tire radius = .83333 foot (10 inches) rider center...
