The governing equations for fluid flow and related transport processes are partial differential equations (PDE) containing first and second order derivatives in spatial coordinates and first order derivatives in time. Whereas time derivatives appear linearly, spatial derivatives often have a non-linear form. Frequently, systems of partial differential equations occur rather than a single equation.
