## Equations of motion of a newtonian fluid

We will now substitute the constitutive equation for a Newtonian fluid into Cauchy's equation of motion to derive the Navier-Stokes equation.

Cauchy's equation of motion is

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill \rho {\alpha }_{i}& =& \rho \frac{D{v}_{i}}{Dt}=\rho {f}_{i}+{T}_{ij,j}\hfill \\ \hfill \text{or}\\ \hfill \rho \mathbf{a}& =& \rho \frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt}=\rho \mathbf{f}+\nabla •\mathbf{T}\hfill \end{array}$

The constitutive equation for a Newtonian fluid is

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill {T}_{ij}& =& \left(-p+\lambda \Theta \right){\delta }_{ij}+2\mu {e}_{ij}\hfill \\ \hfill \text{or}\\ \hfill \mathbf{T}& =& \left(-p+\lambda \Theta \right)\mathbf{I}+2\mu \mathbf{e}\hfill \end{array}$

The divergence of the rate of deformation tensor needs to be restated with a more meaningful expression.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill {e}_{ij,j}& =& \frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial }{\partial {x}_{j}}\left(\frac{\partial {v}_{i}}{\partial {x}_{j}},+,\frac{\partial {v}_{j}}{\partial {x}_{i}}\right)\hfill \\ & =& \frac{1}{2}\frac{{\partial }^{2}{v}_{i}}{\partial {x}_{j}\partial {x}_{j}}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial }{\partial {x}_{i}}\frac{\partial {v}_{j}}{\partial {x}_{j}}\hfill \\ & =& \frac{1}{2}{\nabla }^{2}{v}_{i}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial }{\partial {x}_{i}}\left(\nabla •\mathbf{v}\right).\hfill \\ & \text{or}& \\ \hfill \nabla •\mathbf{e}& =& \frac{1}{2}{\nabla }^{2}\mathbf{v}+\frac{1}{2}\nabla \left(\nabla •\mathbf{v}\right)\hfill \end{array}$

Thus

$\begin{array}{c}{T}_{ij,j}=-\frac{\partial p}{\partial {x}_{i}}+\left(\lambda +\mu \right)\frac{\partial }{\partial {x}_{i}}\left(\nabla •\mathbf{v}\right)+\mu {\nabla }^{2}{v}_{i}\hfill \\ \text{or}\hfill \\ \rho \frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt}=\rho \mathbf{f}-\nabla p+\left(\lambda +\mu \right)\nabla \Theta +\mu {\nabla }^{2}\mathbf{v}\hfill \end{array}$

Substituting this expression into Cauchy's equation gives the Navier-Stokes equation.

$\begin{array}{c}\rho \frac{D{v}_{i}}{Dt}=\rho \phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}{f}_{i}-\frac{\partial p}{\partial {x}_{i}}+\left(\lambda +{\mu }_{\right)}\frac{\partial }{\partial {x}_{i}}\left(\nabla •\mathbf{v}\right)+\mu {\nabla }^{2}{v}_{i}\hfill \\ \text{or}\hfill \\ \rho \frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt}=\rho \mathbf{f}-\nabla p+\left(\lambda +\mu \right)\nabla \Theta +\mu {\nabla }^{2}\mathbf{v}\hfill \end{array}$

The Navier-Stokes equation is sometimes expressed in terms of the acceleration by dividing the equation by the density.

$\begin{array}{c}\mathbf{a}=\frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt}=\frac{\partial \mathbf{v}}{\partial t}+\left(\mathbf{v}•\nabla \right)\mathbf{v}\hfill \\ =\mathbf{f}-\frac{1}{\rho }\nabla p+\left({\lambda }^{\text{'}}+v\right)\nabla \Theta +v{\nabla }^{2}\mathbf{v}\hfill \end{array}$

where $v=\mu /\rho$ and ${\lambda }^{\text{'}}=\lambda /\rho$ . $\nu$ is known as the kinematic viscosity and if Stokes' relation is assumed ${\lambda }^{\text{'}}+\nu =\nu /3$ . Using the identities

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill {\nabla }^{2}\mathbf{v}& \equiv & \nabla \left(\nabla •\mathbf{v}\right)-\nabla ×\left(\nabla ×\mathbf{v}\right)\hfill \\ \hfill \mathbf{w}& \equiv & \nabla ×\mathbf{v}\hfill \end{array}$

the last equation can be modified to give

$\mathbf{a}=\frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt}=\mathbf{f}-\frac{1}{\rho }\nabla p+\left({\lambda }^{\text{'}}+2\nu \right)\nabla \Theta -\nu \nabla ×\mathbf{w}.$

If the body force f can be expressed as the gradient of a potential (conservative body force) and density is a single valued function of pressure (piezotropic), the Navier-Stokes equation can be expressed as follows.

$\begin{array}{c}\mathbf{a}=\frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt}=-\nabla \left[\Omega +P\left(p\right)-\left({\lambda }^{\text{'}}+2\nu \right)\Theta \right]-\nu \nabla ×\mathbf{w}\hfill \\ \text{where}\hfill \\ \mathbf{f}=-\nabla \Omega \phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}P\left(p\right)={\int }^{p}\frac{d{p}^{\text{'}}}{\rho \left({p}^{\text{'}}\right)}\hfill \end{array}$

## The reynolds number

Later we will discuss the dimensionless groups resulting from the differential equations and boundary conditions. However, it is instructive to derive the Reynolds number ${N}_{Re}$ from the Navier-Stokes equation at this point. The Reynolds number is the characteristic ratio of the inertial and viscous forces. When it is very large the inertial terms dominate the viscous terms and vice versa when it is very small. Its value gives the justification for assumptions of the limiting cases of inviscid flow and creeping flow.
