Abstract
The momentum equation F = m(d V/dt) has been expressed in differential form for an elementary fluid particle of unit volume and mass ρ (see Chapter 6). It may be recalled that this momentum equation takes the form of the Navier-Stokes equation, which equates the inertia force of a unit volume with the corresponding applied forces.
