common annotation
We only use Cartesian coordinate system (column vector) for clarity, but equation often written using physical components (which are neither covariants (column) nor contra-variants (row))
differential derivation
generalized momentum conservation principles
The change in system momentum is proportional to the resulting force acting on this system
p(t+Δt)−p(t)=ΔtF
where p(t) is momentum at time t, and F is force averaged over Δt
integral derivation
Applying Newton’s second law to a control volume in the continuum being gives
where j is the momentum density at given space-time point, F is the flux associated to momentum density, and s contains all body force per unit volume.
Assume conservation of mass, with known properties of divergence and gradient we can rewrite the conservation form of equations of motions
∂t∂(ρu)+∇⋅(ρu⊗u)=−∇p+∇⋅τ+ρa
where ⊗ is the outer product of the flow velocity u: u⊗u=uuT
convective form
DtDu=ρ1∇⋅σ+f
Remarque
the definition of material derivative are as follow:
definition
For any tensor fieldy that is macroscopic, or depends on ly on position and time coordinates y=y(x,t)
DtDy=∂t∂y+u⋅∇y
where ∇y is the covariant dervative of the tensor, and u(x,t) is the flow velocity
