For incompressible Newtonian fluids, where density remains constant, stresses show a linear relationship with the deformation rate, defined by normal and shear stresses. Normal stresses depend on the pressure exerted on the fluid and the rate of deformation in specific directions, which determines how fluid flows under varying pressures. Shear stresses, on the other hand, act tangentially across fluid layers. They explain how adjacent fluid layers slide relative to one another, connecting tangential stress to velocity differences between layers. Normal and shear stresses define the internal forces within a fluid that influence its movement.

The Navier-Stokes equations are derived by incorporating these stress relationships into differential equations of motion.

Equation 1

These equations balance inertial, pressure, and gravitational forces in a viscous fluid and are fundamental to predicting fluid behavior under various conditions. The inertia term in the Navier-Stokes equations accounts for fluid acceleration, representing the fluid's resistance to changes in velocity. This term is critical in capturing the momentum conservation of a moving fluid, as it demonstrates how fluids resist sudden shifts in speed or direction.

The pressure gradient term within the Navier-Stokes equations drives fluid movement by creating a net force from areas of high pressure to low pressure. Meanwhile, the viscous terms represent internal friction arising from molecular interactions within the fluid. Depending on the velocity gradients present, these viscous forces act to slow down the fluid movement.

Each directional Navier-Stokes equation captures internal forces like viscous stress and external forces like gravity. These equations allow for predicting fluid motion in various conditions, from simple to complex flows. For steady or laminar flow scenarios, where flow is smooth and orderly, the equations become more manageable, enabling more straightforward analysis. This simplification is useful in controlled scenarios like boundary layer flow, where flow near a surface has a structured layer, and in Couette flow, describing fluid between two parallel surfaces moving at different velocities.
