AI Thread Summary
To derive equations 2.72 and 2.73, starting from equation 2.70 and taking the divergence of both sides is suggested, considering constant density and the divergence of velocity being zero. Equation 2.73 represents the definition of fluid vorticity and is not derived from other equations. The discussion highlights the importance of vector calculus identities, particularly those related to second derivatives, to simplify terms in the equations. Participants express confusion over terms involving viscosity and the implications of assuming steady flow when the divergence of velocity is zero. Overall, the conversation focuses on clarifying the steps needed to arrive at the desired equations in fluid dynamics.

2-72: have you tried: starting from 2-70 and take the divergence of both sides - note constant density and div(V)=0

2-73: this equation is the definition of "fluid vorticity" so it is not a derived thingy.
The equation just before it comes from 2-70 by taking the curl.
 
i tried but it not looks simple to do
 
Most of the terms turn out to be zero - where do you get stuck?
 
I really confused... There are a lot of terms in dV/dT and gravity that become 0, but in vicosity how could i do?

\nabla p=\rho g + \mu \nabla^2 V-\rho\frac{\partial V}{\partial t}

\nabla^2 p=\nabla .(\rho g) + \mu\nabla . (\nabla^2 V)-\rho\nabla . \left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial t}\right)

\nabla^2 p=\nabla .(\rho g) + \mu\nabla^2(\nabla V)-\rho\nabla . \left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial t}\right)

Using \nabla . V=0 and \nabla .(\rho g)=0

\nabla^2 p=-\rho\nabla . \left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial t}\right)

And i got stuck

Can i assume if div(V)=0 then it's a steady flow problem?
 
The other i got \frac{\partial \omega}{\partial t}=\frac{\mu}{\rho}\nabla \times (\nabla^2 V)

What now?

You are told that div.V=0.
You can take the div inside the time-partial
