Renyolds Transport Theorem from Navier-Stokes?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT) from the Navier-Stokes equations. RTT is described as an integral form of the Navier-Stokes equations and represents a general conservation law. It states that the rate of change of a quantity within a volume is determined by the flux across the volume's boundaries and any changes due to volume deformation. Participants seek links or advice for a clear derivation of RTT from the Navier-Stokes framework. Understanding this relationship is crucial for applying fluid dynamics principles effectively.

I've been trying to figure out how I can start with the Navier-Stokes equation and end up at the Reynolds Transport Theorem. Could anyone provide a link to a derivation of this? or some advice of some sort?

The Reynolds transport theorem is a general statement of a conservation law. Basically, it means that the rate of change of any quantity within a volume is given by the flux in and out of the volume as well as the change of the volume (which occurs under deformation).

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
