Hey! :o

I am looking at the conservation of momentum.

The force at $W$ from the tensions at the boundary $\partial{W}$ is $$\overrightarrow{S}_{\partial{W}}=-\int_{\partial{W}}p \cdot \overrightarrow{n}dA=-\int_{W}\nabla p dV$$ where $p(\overrightarrow{x}, t)$ the pressure and $\overrightarrow{n}$ the unit perpendicular vector.

The massive forces is $$\overrightarrow{B}_{W}=\int_{W}\rho \overrightarrow{b}dV$$ where $\overrightarrow{b}$ the density of massive forces.

So, the total force on the fluids in the volum $W$ is $$\overrightarrow{S}_{\partial{W}}+\overrightarrow{B}_{W}=\int_{W}( \rho \overrightarrow{b}-\nabla p)dV$$

From the second Newton's law we have that $\overrightarrow{F}=m\cdot \overrightarrow{a}$ and since $m=\int \rho dV$ and $\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{D\overrightarrow{u}}{Dt}$, where $\frac{D}{Dt}$ the material derivative, we have the following:

$$\int_{W}\rho \frac{D\overrightarrow{u}}{Dt}dV=\overrightarrow{S}_{\partial{W}}+\overrightarrow{B}_{W}=\int_{W}(\rho \overrightarrow{b}-\nabla p)dV$$

The differential form of the conservation of momentum is $$\rho \frac{D\overrightarrow{u}}{Dt}=-\nabla p+\rho\overrightarrow{b}$$

We are looking for the integral form of the conservation of momentum.

We have $$\rho \frac{\partial{\overrightarrow{u}}}{\partial{t}}=-\rho (\overrightarrow{u}\cdot \nabla )\overrightarrow{u}-\nabla p+\rho \overrightarrow{b}$$

From the differential form of the conservation of mass ($\frac{\partial{\rho}}{\partial{t}}+\nabla \cdot (\rho \overrightarrow{u})=0$) we get the following:

$$\frac{\partial}{\partial{t}}(\rho \overrightarrow{u})=-div(\rho \overrightarrow{u})\overrightarrow{u}-\rho(\overrightarrow{u}\nabla)\overrightarrow{u}-\nabla p+\rho\overrightarrow{b}$$

Could you explain to me how we get the last relation?? (Wondering)

Hey! (Blush)

According to the product rule, we have:
$$\pd {} t(\rho \overrightarrow u) = \pd \rho t\overrightarrow u + \rho \pd {\overrightarrow u} t
$$
Now substitute the conservation of mass. (Wasntme)
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
