Abstract

We shall now specialize the universally valid equations, namely Cauchy’s equation (2.38) and the energy equation (2.119) to the two most technically important cases: Newtonian fluids and inviscid fluids. The continuity equation (2.2) (mass balance) and the symmetry of the stress tensor (2.53) (angular momentum balance) remain unaffected by the choice of the constitutive relation.
