Is My Solution to the Momentum Conservation Equations Correct?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on verifying the correctness of a solution to the momentum conservation equations presented in a PDF format. The user seeks feedback on their solution, which employs basic notation but lacks the more sophisticated vector notation commonly found in textbooks. Participants suggest improvements in notation, specifically recommending the use of vector symbols such as ##\mathbf v## and the operator ##\nabla## for clarity and precision in physics equations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of momentum conservation principles in physics
  • Familiarity with vector notation in mathematical expressions
  • Basic knowledge of LaTeX for typesetting equations
  • Experience with PDF document sharing for collaborative feedback
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced vector notation in physics, focusing on momentum equations
  • Learn LaTeX typesetting techniques for clearer mathematical presentations
  • Explore common practices in academic writing for physics solutions
  • Review textbooks on momentum conservation for standard notation and examples
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, particularly those working on momentum conservation problems, as well as anyone interested in improving their mathematical notation and presentation skills in scientific contexts.

Homework Statement
In textbooks one can find two forms of momentum conservation
equations. For example, for two-dimensional flow for U component
of flow velocity along axis x these two forms can be written as

and

It is a general practice in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to
solve momentum equation in the form (2) for computational
efficiency, stability and convergence.
Using the mass conservation equation for variable density flows

demonstrate that these two forms of the momentum conservation
equations are equivalent.

mass conservation equation
I attached a PDF file where it clearly show the question and I showed my solution because trying to type it here will be quite hard
I want to check if my solution is correct

looks good, even though you could have used a nicer notation ;)
 
thank you, but do you have any advice on how to write it better
 
It just a suggestion, it doesn't really matter as long as you get the concepts right.

BTW in most textbooks the vector notation is employed (using ##Nabla## and ## \mathbf v ## instead of the sigle components).

A part from that there is nothing really to say.
